the guy said it was a Cornelius slider, wood grain exterior. It is missing the rack and I wanted to see if anyone knew where I could source a rack that would hold the 20oz bottles? Funtronics doesn't carry it.

There are not much parts reproduced for that machine. While they are good machines to use they are not very collectible. I have had several of them in fact a cornelius Compact 50 was my first machine. racks do show up every now and then on ebay but they will be for glass bottles only. The larger sized sliders by cornelius had an optional can rack but not the smaller 50 model. Post some pics of your machine and we can tell which model it is. If you are wanting to buy this machine I would not invest much. I have never paid more than $50 for one and most were given to me to take them away. They are not worth much at all for resale. With that said if you want a good machine for the garage these seem to be just about bullet proof. And with it missing the rack you can use it for anything.

I was wondering if I could modify a rack to hold the 20oz. bottles. I didn;t figure resale was good on them...but I'm doing the work on one of these for a local vet hospital. They have limited space as it is used up for animals, etc. They wanted something small, compact, and "bulletproof" for drinks for the employees. I figured one of these would be perfect. The one I have found is a good deal...$30, but it needs work.

I don't know where you are located but here is a complete machine in Madison, WI with what appears to be a motivated seller.  It looks clean and it even has the optional light bar on the back.

If I was closer I might pick that one up for the garage or deck.  Of course, there are those on this web-site that will not let their friends buy woodgrain!  biggrin

What part of Tenn. are yall from?  My folks are in Manchester.  Lower middle Tenn.

There was a guy on Ebay that just sold a coin mech and the top slider rack a week ago.  I wrote him to see if he had any more parts and unfortunately he didn't.

That one in Madison isn't bad. That light alone is worth it and those medallions are cool.

yeah , I'd snag it up if it was closer...I'm not a fan of the wood grain, but those painted up look pretty good.

Does this vet hospital only want something to vend plastic bottles or would something that vends cans be OK? The coinco wall mount machines would be perfect for them. They vend cans and hang on the wall. Below are the links to a few
