I am thinking of buying a westinghouse wc44sk. I can not find any pictures of one . Anybody have one? I did come across some description that says it could vend up to king size cokes 'with the crank of its handle'. Does that mean it had a crank handle to make it vend, or it adjusted to fit the large bottles by cranking a handle? I dont want to sound stupid, but I can only see a pic of the machine I am thinking of buying and cant figure out if something is missing.

It looks like a cross between a Vendo/VMC 44 and a Cavalier CS-55... The 44's have a crank handle to vend the bottle and the CS-55 is a square-cornered machine. The WC-44SK doesn't have an external coin door; it's more like the CS-55 coin door.

The reason we don't have a photo is due in part to not wanting break any copyright laws and we just haven't had the opportunity to acquire a good representation for reference in the Soda Machines Section.

Heres an archive shot of a WC44 (the crank handles missing on this one) not the best, but you'll get the Idea of what you're looking at.
