Well I got a call on one of my ads a while back but it was too far away. Well I called him yesterday and decided I would go get the machine this morning. It ended up being an early 60'sVendorlator 56. The coolest thing about the machine is that it has a really neet embossed plastic light up sign that is flawless. I also liked the bottle rack on the side. I don't know if this really adds to the machine but I like it. The machine has a little surface rust in a few places but overall it is really nice. But it is missing two shelves and and I am now kicking myself for selling all of my shelves. I always do that. One of these days I will learn not to sell all of my parts. The machine also has a really odd coin accepter on it. I have never seen one before. I will post a pic of both the outside and the mech. I just thought I would share this with you all.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Man Josh, you suck......  '> That's a sweet machine! That's the smallest size that Vendorlator made for that style! That's the "littlest brother" to my machine VF117. Mine has the same kind of sign, very cool! Looks to be in great condition too.
Hey, if you need a couple of shelves for it, I can give you a couple out of that hanger queen VF90 that I snaked off of Greed Bay for $36. It's a total P.O.S., but for that cheap and that close (15 mins) I couldn't resist!!!! Let me know, maybe when you deliver that 55 to me we can do some part swapping too.

Sounds good to me. I am going to pick up my Vendo 23's tomorrow that moondawg sent me at the terminal and I am soooooo excited. I will post pics of those tomorrow. I have projects coming out of my ears. But now that spring is comming I am going to get my brother-in-law into this with me so I will have help.

ANd here they are. There is 4 of them but two are parts machines. They are nice restorable machines. They don't look too pretty now but they have potential. I guess Vendo 23's only vendo the small bottles so my Frosty V23 idea is done. Oh well.

These are going to be on the back burner for now. I would like to finish what I have started. I have the 7up machine in primer now so i should have it in the paint shop in a week or two. I am also going to pick up a cavalier 64 taday. I hope it is nice but the guy wants $300. It had better be nice. I have been watching ebay lately. Is it just me or have these machines been going higher just in the past month or two.

People have been getting scary high prices lately. It blows my mind, what was a 100-200 dollar machine last year seems to be 300-400 this year. I have seen some real ratty looking machines go in the 350-400 dollar range lately. Nice looking 63's are getting crazy on greedbay.

Well the Cavalier 64 ended up being another Cavalier 80. It is dirty but in nice shape and appears complete. Now I am off to get what I think is a Vendorlator 126. For $50 I can't pass up even the tall ones.

Well I went to get the tall pepsi machine and it was a Vf126. Rusted out bad and BIG holes in the condenser. I paid a whoping $25 for it and I already stripped it and it is resting in the scrap yard. Had a complete set of shelves that fit a Vendo 63,90,81 in it so if anyone needs anything let me know. The guy also says he can get ahold of big jugs of R12 for cheep if anyone is interested let me know. I might buy a few for myself.

Well I just got another machine to add to the growing collection. This was another call from one of my ads in the paper. This one is nice. I just wanted to show off some more. I can't believe the number of calls I am getting.
