Is there a drum that can replace the original in the vendo 83 allowing it to vend cans or larger size bottles????

Hmmm, I know that there's a repro' V39 drum that'll hold 12oz. bottles and with some tinkering a V44 &V23/27 can be made to vend 12oz cans, but I don't know of anybody at this time.(but anybody correct me if I'm wrong!) that has one for a V83 yet ???

Nope not available, but if your handy just buy a bottle capper and some of the old diamond logo straight side coke bottles and fill it that way, or the little 8oz will fit as will the kaluha white russians and mud slides (gasp mixed drinks in a coke machine)

I have a vendo 83 myself and went thru the same issue's and questions.

a bottle capper comes in handy as you can easily refill your 8oz or 10 bottles for  about 20cents a bottle from a 2 liter just buy the oxygen absorbing caps as they help keep the pop fresh

contact dave@midwestsupplies.com for all you need for capping or at 1-888-449-brew

they have a nice bench mount capper for 22.95 and caps run around $3.50 for a gross

hope this helps
