what is  this machine and whats it worth?

Looks like a Vendorlator VMC 33.  There are a few on E-Bay now asking from a few hundred unrestored up to $3,000 for a restored.  That machine has a vending drum on the inside similar and a lot of times those parts are missing.  I don't think that machine is embossed.

Value would depend a lot on whether or not the machine is complete with coin mech and all internal parts.  The Walters book puts that machine in average condition at around $650.

Most of the VMC's (not all) that had the split door were VMC 27A's, also called Dual 27's by the company.

There is a guy in Raliegh NC selling an unrestored one (VMC duel 27) for $600.00. Complete, straight and working, and it has some new parts. I haven't seen the machine in person so I am only telling you this to use as a price reference.

I have a Pepsi VMC 33 totally restored inside and out (done correctly) for $2300.00 and I have no bites. So what is it really worth. Difficult to say in these hard times.

Good luck.

Yes, 2 years ago at the Chicago show there was a Coke 27A complete but not in as good condition as that one priced at $500 and it went thru the Kane County show and Pheasant Run on Friday without being sold.  Same way for a complete embossed Pepsi 33 for $1100, it didn't sell either although they are really nice looking restored and certainly worth the $2300.  Most people are looking for something that vends a choice of drinks, not just Coke.
