Trying to find a large coin door for a vendo or vmc 81. Anyone have a spare laying around that they'd be willing to sell?  |

Seems like there are at least two things that should be reproduced based on demand/shortages. The large coin door, and the VMC version coin entry bezel.... I know the Vendo bezels are easy to find, but not the VMCs.
Any entrepreneurs out there....

Youd think the Large door woud not be that hard to duplicate.. not that I konw how to do it but seeing that you can buy a Repro Vendo 44 door.. you'd think the same process can be done to remake a Large door for a Vendo/VMC 81.
but also on the other hand,,, how many repro parts do we want out there... it could overall hurt the value of original machines down the road.
look at the collector car market... certain cars you can completely build out of a kit nowdays... Shelby Cobra, Corvette, etc...
so I see it both ways.

what do you think people would pay for both of those parts? neither is easy to make - that's why it hasn't been done yet I'd say.

Lots of tooling and die charges in making the coin door. Those nice rounded corners do not get there by hammering a flat piece of metal on a round metal ball. I know a guy that did reproduce some of the VMC bezels. I looked at them and debated on selling them, but the casting was just too crude. It's like making the Vendo 44 bezel. Lots of people tried to have it casted. I even had several people cast it. They all would come back to crude. I reproduced the Vendo 44 bezel by having a 3d program created and then have them CMC'd out of a solid block of aluminum. All this was very expensive and made the bezels expensive. That is why if you look on my web sight they are priced very high. I have only sold a few. Not really worth all the money I had to put forth to get a finished product that nobody wants to pay a high price for. Everyone wants a part made but then wants to complain about the high price and not buy it. This is why I do not invest in making a lot of new expensive parts. Just not worth the investment on the return.

I would agree with Funtronics, everyone "wants" a nice rust free, dent free door to restore their machine with. But are they willing to pay for it?? For those of you needing a large coin door- what would you pay for a door that was ready for primer and paint? Moondawg's suggestion is an option - but that is very labor/time intensive (= $$$$) as well. It's just a tough, expensive part - and that is why no one has made it.

I picked up large coin door off a member here early last year, I thought it was reasonable priced a few hundred dollars. I needed it for when I start my restoration on my 81 and just wanted it when I got the time.
Good luck in finding one

It's often the "catch 22" between wanting Champagne on a beer budget...  be it reproducing an obsolete part or service work too...I have people calling all the time, Q) " I have this "Coke" cooler [found behind a dumpster] I want in my basement 'cause it would look soooooo cool! but it needs a new compressor, wiring, etc, etc. can you repair it for less than $100? , A) (umm, No. it will run quite a bit more sir, [insert real world price here]).. Q) Oh, well, your price is way too high! ( based on what I don't know), well don't you have a used compressor you can slap into it that will do? A) (sure, they're in the dumpster out back, help yourself) It's natural that people want the path of least resistance (cost), I don't like spending more than I think it's "worth" I've always considered this to be the " Perceived Value" of a good(s) or service(s). well maybe I'm a little off track , but you get the gist of it. Anyway, I see the point, cost vs viability. |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

I have a large coin door that I think I am willing to part with. I know where it is in the garage, but I am going to have to get my wife to dig it out for me in the morning, as I still have a cast on my leg. From there I will take pictures and post here. I bought a VMC 110 large door last year for parts that I need to finish off my 7up 110. I had plans to do something with the extra coke door etc... but I find that I'm starting to put WAY too much on my plate lol.. I need to slow down a bit.  |

I think its $150 too much, but I'm a CF.
Update:
Apparently not priced too high...It sold today for $399. With no bezels!
WOW! I'm shocked!

Well, it wasn't me. Someone must have needed one pretty badly to shell out that kind of dough. I was thinking somewhere in the $250 to $300 range.
Oh well. The search continues.
