Title: Vendorlator h81d--canada dry?
Post by: on August 14, 2002, 06:06:37 pm
I have recently decided to restore a Vendorlator H81D that has been sitting in my fathers barn for the last 25+ years.  it is in great condition (no dings,rust) other than scratches and dried up seals etc.  I can see that it has been repainted at some point and now contains Canada Dry logos on the side.  The Questions:
Was there ever a Canada Dry made by Vendorlator, or is this likely a change made later?
If Canada Dry Machines were made by Vendorlator are these units sought after?
Should I restore this to be a Canada Dry unit, or would it have more value as Pepsi or any other labels?
Are there some distinguishing characteristics that I should look for on my machine to help me identify how I should restore the unit?  

I will attach some Pics when I have a chance.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
