Well I just won a Jacobs 26 on ebay. I know nothing about these machines. I have heard that they are made of aluminum. is that true? If so mine has a HUGE dent on the side. Will it be hard to straighten? I can't wait to go get it.

It's the VMC 27 that is aluminum. Jacobs is steel but your dents are very easy to get to. Good buy, local as well.

Nice machine Glen!!! I can't wait for mine to look like that. I think this one is going to have to wait for a while. anyway I think this machine might be a keeper so I am not in a hurry. I am going to go get it in the morning so I will post pics when I get it home.

Great score!
I like those. Can the 26 be made to vend 12oz bottles?

I don't believe so. I wish it could. If someone knows of a way please share.

Josh, that's awesome! Is that the machine out of Poland, IN? I was looking at that one too. Only about a 40 min drive for me. Good to know that it went to a good home! I was a little apprehesive to bid on that one.
You should be happy that it has the drum and the coin door/mech! Those are usually missing and darn hard to find after the fact! Good grab!  '>

The machine in the picture is a Jacobs 35. Notice the handle derived from VMC 27 / 33.
I have a complete Jacobs 26 for sale if anyone else is interested.

Yes it is the machine from poland In. I just got it home but I don't have it out of the truck yet. It is alot better than it looked on ebay. I will post pics later tonight. It is complete and really solid. I think it will run it is just that the wiring is a nightmare. And the fan motor is actually in pieces inside the machine. It looks like it exploded.
