Title: Newbie looking at a VMC 149
Post by: ifxwrks on October 03, 2009, 10:38:38 am
What is the concensus about these machines are they decent machines. How are parts to find. What is the price range on these machines.

Nice looking machines but they are single selection and are too big. Parts would have to be found as no one has parts for this model. Restored value is less than what it would take to restore. Unless you do it all yourself and don't put any value on your labor. I would pass. There are thousands of good machines for sale. You just have to wait for one to pop up. Just be patient and before you know it you'll have 1/2 dozen good quality machines in your garage. 8) It's better to buy 1 good quality machine than 6 cheap machines no one wants. I noticed on colamachines.com they have a list of the top 10 machines. I think maybe we should make a list of the top upright round corner machines, the top square corner machines and the top coolers. It would be fun to see the results.

I agree.  I would be very interested in the opinions of the top 10 machines as determined  by brain power on this site.
