I just picked up a 100% complete Vendo Milk Machine with the counter weights. It's in great shape, wrong color but has been in storage for 22 years. Was a great find about 2 hours away. This guy has tons of machines a nice victor 3 door a beautiful original 7up-81.

I've always thought those were cool although I'm pretty sure I don't want to ever own one.  I just don't like milk that much! smile

Hey wait!  Can that thing be set up to vend beer? drinking


Somehow the thought of that just seems very wrong! down

But it's easy to find little cartons of orange juice.  Load it up with the orange juice cartons, put a couple of bottles of tequila and grenadine in that top part and BOOM - you now have a Tequila Sunrise machine! happydrinkers

I knew I could find a use for that machine! tounge

Awesome find, Curtis!  I'm working on getting one of those sometime in the future.  My 5 year old picked that machine out of Jeff Walters' book as the machine she wants me to get.  The way her and her sister go through chocolate milk, I need one!  I've already checked, and they distribute milk in the little cartons around here by arrangement.  That way, the girls won't always be bugging me or Mom to get them a cup of milk, they can just go vend their own!   happydrinkers

      Wow, how could anyone restore and sell that machine for $2200 even if they got it for free?

They were closing down and sold everything they had very cheep at the end, they also had one done as a cow, which went for 2500.00 , it was a good time to buy from them at the end. Now these sell for 5000 done up nice.
