Hello all,
    I am glad to finally be a member of this Discussion group.  I have an old machine that I recently acquired.  I need to make some repairs to it so Identifying it is important (I assume)  so that I can get the right parts for it.  I have included pictures.  I think it is somewhere in the 1970's and I think it might be a westinghouse as it looks very similar to the model WT-170-5.  however the top of the machine is all wrong for that mine is much taller.  Anyways any help would be grand.

Most of us on this forum won't consider that and "OLD" machine and therefore you may not get alot of response.. it's not that we are not helpful, just that push buttom type of machines are not really collectable and parts will be near impossible to find for them.

Good luck however, and hope you can get it up and running...

The best I can find is that it is either a Selectivend or Cornelius machine, part of their convertible bottle/can vending series.  I can't find any other info on the model out there, hopefully this helps a little.
