Title: What kind is this??
Post by: m38jeepman on April 02, 2012, 11:22:40 pm
I hope I am posting this in the right area.   I am not very familiar with any coke machines, but I have been looking for one to fix up for my shop.  A buddy of mine has this and he said he may sell it, but I have no idea what kind of coke machine it is.  Do any of you have any ideas.   Here are two pics of it. Thanks,  Clint

Welcome aboard Clint!   :happydrinkers:

Definitely a Vendorlator (VMC).  Looks like a Vendorlator 139.  If it is that machine weighs in at about 425 lbs and it can only vend the small 8 oz Coke bottles.  Not sure how available parts would be for that machine.  Personally, I would pass but that is just my two cents.

Thanks Tim for the reply.  That is the info I have been looking for.  I knew that I could get an idea on this forum about what to do about the machine.  I can tell my friend now that it only uses the 8 ounce bottles.  He did not know anything about it.    --Clint.

The 139, and 149's are monsters!  As Tim mentioned parts are probably hard to come by.  They were equipped with a unique looking "vending carousel.

I seen of a lot of the carousels taken out and beer key in it's place.

I could of bought one for $100.
