Well I bought the Vendo 44 that I have been talking about in the estimated values section and sold it is Cincinnati so today I drove up to Cincy to drop it off. I ended up picking this machine up. Check this out. It is a Vendorlator 56 square top with a crank handle. I think someone here bought a pepsi one a fer months ago. It is in good condition  and complete. It is generic though. This is such a cool machine. I really like this one. A good deal for $350.

Nice score Josh!, I like these transitional machines a lot!
I have a question about the bottle stack, is that the corect one, it almost looks like an electric stack (hard to tell from the photo), I see the mechanical link from the door, but I don't see it's mate (the cam) on the bottom of the stack.
just curious... '<img'>

So you bought a VMC44, turned it over immediately and then found an extremely cool VMC56 on the drive home?  How the '<img'> do you find these deals so close and so often.

Wow.

Can't wait to see the VMC finished.  What does the crank do?

It is a mechanical stack. The crank works just like a round top. I didn't find the machine on the way home. I think I worded that wrong. I actually traded the Vendo 44 for this plus some cash. I just couldn't pass it up. I really like the looks of it. The only problem is that it has a weird coin mech that isn't complete. It works but someone has made it free vend and destroyed it. We think this might be a canadian mech since the person that I bought this from has two other machines that are almost identical but have regular large door coin mechs in them. I am not too worried about it right now because it does work for free and I think this machine is a keeper.  I have looked at it and a large coin door coin mech should work fine. I think this was a great score. I honestly would rather have this than a 44 any day.

He's got two more of the crank VMC's?  Is he selling?

PS - I'm still impressed with how fast you buy & sell, wheel & deal, etc, etc.

I doubt he wants to sell them but I will ask him. I have been out there playing with this machine today and this is the coolest machine I have ever had.

Nice snag Josh. That's a really cool looking machine. I too really like the "transitional" machines. What are your plans fot it?

It sounds to me like a keeper in the works!! '<img'>

I agree this one is a keeper. I am going to restore this one sometime in the future and I am thinking about doing it is the round top rc yellow with red letters. I think that would be really sharp.

Josh, looks to me you have the SMALL coin mech. adapted to fit a large door machine.That's good news. Now find a complete mech. from a 39 / 110 etc. and replate it for this machine. It will be good practice.
       Before you restore this machine, remember this! The Coin door and hardware, coin mech. and inside door linkage, door liner, bottle door, inner liner, bottle stack, shelves and compressor.......are all identical to a 56 round top.(Coin door would need some holes drilled and some filled, door liner trimmed in the upper corners.)
       If you ever score a 56 RT shell, this machine will be worth it's weight in gold for parts.  I like your RC version just the way it is for now.

Almost all of my machines have been electric vend square tops so I havent really paid much attention to parts prices for round tops. It looks like I will be in the market for a coin mech. I know the large door mechs are expensive but since this machine has a small mech conversion I might just want to buy a small mech. My question is what do they go for? And also what machines have a compatable coin mech.
Thanks

probably your best bet would be a Vendo 39, 81A, 81B, or small coin door 110 in the neighborhood of around $200.00 for a nice complete mech.

Also I think Cavalier 51s have small coin mechs I just mated my 39s mech up to the 51 and it seems to look as it would work.

Hey I am still stunned by your new machine. Think that would be the ultimate of machines to have. I would buy one of those in a heartbeat.

I have a square top vendorlator 56 with the crank handle, but it is an embossed 7 UP with the white glass door. Does anyone know how many of these were produced as transition machines? '<img'>
