Vendo Milk on Ebay

[Larry]

Some of you were interested in a vendo milk.  Here's one.

Larry going to have to start calling you eagle eye. I spoke to him about machine said it is incomplete and non working condition. also stated usual rust associated with vendo machines. would be great machine for parts, or if you had parts to complete

Machine is located at Steve Jebb's SodaJerk works.

I talked to steve tonight, and this came up it needs alot of work &  .
Something I would take a pass on .

[Creighton]

Well looks like it will come to my neck of the woods if it doesn't sell. Whats missing?
Thanks!
Creighton

Creighton Give Steve Jebb a call  he can fill you in on that machine.

     If anything is missing it looks like it would be from the vending stack. Since the
display cabinet, logo sign and coin door equipment are still there, I think it would be
only a matter of time before another parts machine would surface to complete it.
     I like it!

it does not have the door that you push to retrieve the milk carton, weights are missing, selection buttons, forgot what else steve said.

[BrianB]

The selection buttons are an easy find for replacement and I'm pretty sure the the weights can be made. The marquee plastic is easy. Probably the most difficult part would be the flap. I agree with Glen, if anything this would be a solid base to work with when another machine in worse condition pops up.

I've been eyeballing that one since it popped up on ebay, as that is the machine my 6 year old daughter is dying for to have in her room!  The way my girls go through milk, it would get a ton of use, and I've already found a source for the mini-cartons around here in Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, and regular milk!

Of course, this pops up right before family vacation!     That would take a significant dent out of our travel/fun money, and consequently the War Department would put a significant dent in my head!!        If only this had popped up a month or so later, I'd be on that like white on rice (if no one else here was seriously interested in it).  If it doesn't sell and no one here is really interested in it, I may contact the seller and work something out for a near future purchase.  If that happens, I'll just have to keep an eye out for parts to finish it out.  We'll see!

Greg,
Talk to him before  it ends, he updated the listing, mentioned the missing parts, and  plans to haul it to Spokane if it doesn't sell.
Maybe a small deposit to keep it closer to you.  It would be a great project to get the girls involved with... and you know we'll all look out for the parts needed

[GreginNM]

Thanks, I may do that.  I was talking to Gumbo a while back about his milk machine and my interest in it, but it's a good ways away and the price is higher (and I haven't had enough play money to pick that one up yet).  This one is close to my parents, and could easily be retrieved.  It also looks good enough to display while waiting on parts to come up. 

You are right, it would be a great project to involve the girls with, as they always want to help me with the machines!  That way, they would feel a bit of ownership in it as well if they worked on it...and I wouldn't get bugged to fill cups of chocolate milk ALL THE TIME!

Of course, if someone else is interested in it, I can wait until the next one comes along as well...
