Title: vendo 59 value...
Post by: jnapp18 on June 25, 2013, 01:52:21 pm
First of all... I know  :needphotos:

That being said.. Can you guys give me a range for the value of a vendo 59..

I'm following leads on coke machines/signs/oil gas stuff  and the guy tells me he has a vendo 59 but he isn't great at communicating.. He also has a cav51 but I'm passing on that.. Only got 2 pictures so far and it doesn't look too promising..

EDIT: THESE PICTURES ARE OF OTHER ITEMS--> http://imgur.com/1xCWMQv,hI1ks4A

Jack,

It really depends on the condition of the machine?  Does it run, or cool, and fully operational?  Does the coin mechanism work ? Drum present?

Really it's a loaded question without knowing more about it.  It being a drum machine, it's a single flavor, and will have bottle size
limitations!

Idk slap, sorry. All I got was "the other is a 59"... He's terrible at communicating...


Let's just say is it is decent condition working, 95% parts there?
Because I probably will pass if it isn't all there

I would start around $675 and work your way up if you need too!  A nice original I would value around $1200

I don't think that's a Vendo-59.  My Vendo 59 is a spin-top.

Here's the pic for y'all....

That is a Cavalier 51 . It does have a "ammo belt" that spins hah  :biggrin:

It's missing the coin door, coin mechanism, and weird looking cap-catcher in it's place!

Jack mentioned he wasn't interested in the Cav 51 the seller has.  Pay attention people. There will be a quiz later.

If the 59 isn't 100% complete, I'd walk. parts are  hard to find.  On the plus side, it could be an Ideal 55, or  a Vendo 459,   Who knows. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you  find a princess

Ugh... sorry, I hate when my day job distracts me from posting here.  I totally missed the comment about the Cav 51 and when I clicked the link, the 51 was the only machine shown.  Mea Culpa.     :blush:

Speaking of spin-tops.  Here's one you don't see every day - just popped up for sale in my neck of the woods:

@Jim H, no worries. And the Jr looks to be in nice shape. Slider bob at one time   was looking at mine.

I guess I am failing this test, we started with a 59 then we are looking at a spin top and I think we finished up on a 51 , with some comments thrown in about JR.
