I think I've posted something about this model in the past, but this one is apparently in pieces and may or may not work at this point.  It being the "sqare" model rather than "rounded" model, what is the concensus on a reasonable offer for this machine?  $100-200???  I may consider it since I might can get it really cheap.  I know not as pretty as the Vendo 44, but still kinda neat.  What's the collectibility of it and can parts still be obtained easy enough?  Thanks!

Ken

These are great machines. I wish I'd never sold the one I had. Can be adapted to vend cans too.

If you can get it for under $300, you are doing well. The coin mech is worth that! Parts can be tough to find, but it depends on what parts are missing. I believe the suppliers carry some parts for the machine and the 44 has some parts in common with other Westinghouse machines.

If I can talk my wife into it, I might see if I can get it.  I showed it to her and she didn't care for all the white in the Coke scheme.  The one I'm looking at though is painted black, so would require a redo I suppose.

It looks to be all original...the LA one that is.  Is this machine embossed??  Just curious.

This is my favorite machine. I have always loved the W-44. Yes they are embossed and look great painted red and white.
