Title: Vendorlator 44 7up machine
Post by: Zach on May 11, 2010, 06:15:34 pm
Any buddy know about a Vendorlator 44 7up machine. Found one for sale and want to know what it's worth, the machine is complete and non restored. What would be the value restored and non restored? It has a smaller coin door with a mechanism where you can choose between three different types of soda. I can't find any information about this machine anywhere so somebody here has got  know something right?

Is it the manual (crank handle) or automatic version? - value would vary greatly.

      Looks like a 44 in the picture but it is really a BIG machine!

That is a VMC 144SA.  I have that machine in an embossed Coca Cola with all of the original signage.  Mine runs but may not cool.  I would let it go for $250.00.  Here are some pictures and information

Yea exactly like the one in the picture, whats it worth in that shape and fully restored?

That is difficult to say because it is such a large machine and it weighs about 400lbs so it is not the machine for everyone.  A Coke embossed or a Pepsi with the button sign would be worth more than a generic though.

So I guess not a machine to try to make a buck off.

If you are going to try and flip it yeap I'd stay away....

If you wanted to keep it I think its a good looking machine...

They are cool machines. They are tall but look really good. They also vend three selections and I am not sure but I think they also vend beer bottles. They are hard to sell because of their size but if you want it for yourself it would be a great garage machine.
