Thanks... the chest is a Cornelius SVM-48E3 that I found in three feet of snow in the woods north of Lake Superior in 1988... it needed both fan motors and the top sign, but other than that, with a good cleaning it's been running since...

Good luck with your Vendo 44. I think those are really neat machines.

Thanks everyone for the comments.... here are 4 pics of the Cornelius. We were living in Northern Ontario at the time, 20+ years ago, and this machine was in the woods next to a hunt camp that was beside a friend of mines house, east of Thunder Bay....  (now we live in Alberta)

Rod, thanks for the comments, I'll send some pictures to Janet when it's done...


I forgot to mention... apparently the 44 was changed in to a fridge because it had been hit by a car while sitting in a garage.... that's why there was so much filler on the main door...

Welcome to the forum and you're on the right track with the 44. I myself live in Ontario. I've come across hundreds of those Cornelius' but have never seen one with a lid  like that. That's pretty cool.

Signguy, thanks... it's a fluorescent light in the top, the switch sticks out of the lid on the right hand side, the power cord is visible in the tag picture... When I purchased the fan motors from Coke in Toronto (1989), the guy on the parts counter asked me if I was sure of the model number, as he had only ever seen one other, and that was supposedly in the Coke offices in Toronto.... I believe it's a Canadian only model, as you can see on the tag that it's only got the CSA approval on it... the parts guy said that the units were used in remote places with low turnover as it only holds 48 bottles in the rack. There is room for another 24 or so down below in a little pre-cool area next to the condensor...

Thanks for the welcome Crazzy Canuck (and everybody else)... here's a pic inside the cornelius...

So there's no mech and it's a free vend? If there's no mech it probably was only their (coke's) offices then.
