the guy said it was a Cornelius slider, wood grain exterior. It is missing the rack and I wanted to see if anyone knew where I could source a rack that would hold the 20oz bottles? Funtronics doesn't carry it.

There are not much parts reproduced for that machine. While they are good machines to use they are not very collectible. I have had several of them in fact a cornelius Compact 50 was my first machine. racks do show up every now and then on ebay but they will be for glass bottles only. The larger sized sliders by cornelius had an optional can rack but not the smaller 50 model. Post some pics of your machine and we can tell which model it is. If you are wanting to buy this machine I would not invest much. I have never paid more than $50 for one and most were given to me to take them away. They are not worth much at all for resale. With that said if you want a good machine for the garage these seem to be just about bullet proof. And with it missing the rack you can use it for anything.

I was wondering if I could modify a rack to hold the 20oz. bottles. I didn;t figure resale was good on them...but I'm doing the work on one of these for a local vet hospital. They have limited space as it is used up for animals, etc. They wanted something small, compact, and "bulletproof" for drinks for the employees. I figured one of these would be perfect. The one I have found is a good deal...$30, but it needs work.

I don't know where you are located but here is a complete machine in Madison, WI with what appears to be a motivated seller. It looks clean and it even has the optional light bar on the back. http://madison.craigslist.org/clt/1002385914.htmlIf I was closer I might pick that one up for the garage or deck. Of course, there are those on this web-site that will not let their friends buy woodgrain!   Tim |

What part of Tenn. are yall from? My folks are in Manchester. Lower middle Tenn.
There was a guy on Ebay that just sold a coin mech and the top slider rack a week ago. I wrote him to see if he had any more parts and unfortunately he didn't.

That one in Madison isn't bad. That light alone is worth it and those medallions are cool.

yeah , I'd snag it up if it was closer...I'm not a fan of the wood grain, but those painted up look pretty good.

they are looking for something coca cola and a little vintage, becuase the corner they are putting it in will be coke themed, and I guess have some old ads and signage.

Will they have it on free vend? The rack for a cornelius can only vend up to $0.35. Are they on a strict budget? You could get a cheep ideal 55 or Glasco GBV50 and put the new funtronics rack in it. You can usually get a generic ideal cheep. Put a fishtail logo on it and it will look much better than a cornelius. However once they are painted the cornelius machines look good. This one was woodgrain before I painted it red and white. How limited is their space. Realistically a cornelius doesn't take much more floor space than a Vendo 56. It is taller but the floor space is about the same. Or a little more space and you could use a Cav USS-64. That is the perfect machine for a place like that since it will vend anything. I have even added dollar bill changers to a USS-64 for a fraternity that wanted to vend beer at parties. I set it up for $3 per bottle/can. And with a paint job a USS-64 looks great too.

Thanks for the other suggestions. Finding any of the sliders around here have seemed to be a bit difficult...or at least ones that are reasonable. I saw on craigslist a woodgrain for $300...thought that was a bit much. The have a about a 3x3 space in the corner of the room available and can't be much taller than 5'. They will be setup for free vend, and do have a budget on machine purchase and refurb.

I guess when you at a party and all of the beer is gone and the stores are closed you'll pay anything??? Maybe that is what they had in mind.  It was a nice setup though. I had to put a dreaded hasp lock on it though because the bill mech went where the lock bar was. I wish I had gotten pics of it. I went back a few times for repairs after a while and they said they were really making a mint on the machine. |

If you can't find a slider you might look for one of these. I see them pop up on CL and they are usually priced right. http://detroit.craigslist.org/clt/1005852610.htmlI know it is not vintage, but for someone on a limited budget it should be a reasonably priced, trouble-free machine. Tim |

Actually, that's not true. If the coin mech only takes nickels and dimes, its set at a fixed price (usually 10 or 15 cents). If however, it's one of the newer coin mechs that take quarters nickels and dimes then the price can be set anywhere from free all the way up to $1.50 in nickel increments. (ie 0, 5 cents, 10 cents, 15 cents , 20 cents, 25 cents, etc. Here's the patent for the coin mech. If you look at figure 1 you can see the dial that allows you to set the price. http://www.google.com/patents?id=niQ5AAAAEBAJ&dq=4098384It's not obvious from looking at the coin mech that you can adjust the price as you have to remove two or three screws and pull the coin mechanism out to get at the adjustment knob. |
