I pose this question to the more knowledgeable people on the boards:
Did Vendo offer an electric mech for the 56?
Ran across this machine on another site, seller claims this was a factory option. I never heard of conversion kits, or that this was an option., and I though transitional machines started after the run of 56's.
Just doesn't seem the same without a crank.

No - they all had the crank!
Vendors converted machines to electric mechs so they could charge more for the soda.
Looks like a nice machine though and has the less common glass door.
How much are they asking?

Yep they were converted in the field. As soda went from $0.10 to $0.15 people didn't want to replace their machine with a new square top and the old mech would only go to $0.10 so they converted them to electric mechs so they could remain in operation. I have seen this a lot on 110's

If it was an option there wouldnt be a plate covering the crank handle hole, There wouldnt be a hole at all! You should see the frankenstein 56 im building! If I get time I will post some pictures tonight.

I saw the plate, but it didn't register until I enlarged the picture.
And can't wait to see the pics Joey

Seems a V-80, 144 or 216 coin mech door would be an excellent candidate for a conversion...

Unfortunately, all these doors are too shallow. |

Glen's right!...the coin door area on those machines is recessed. |

Good example of what Josh is talking about on ebay right now. Not a bad looking machine, but I'd much rather have the crank! Pepsi 110 electric |
