Title: Need vendo 63 coke lens.
Post by: Atyia-D on May 13, 2010, 08:05:05 pm
I am in need of a plastic coke lens that is new or in great condition. I need it for my vendo 63. It measures about 10x16 and is from one of the back lit models. Thanks

Red with white letters & the Coke "Wave"

I think I have a red with white lettering (like in your avatar).  I'll check tomorrow.

I looked at funtronics but the one that they have for the vendo 63 measures 9 5/8 and the one that came out of mine measures 10 even. It does not look like it will fit in the frame.

Mine is the same size as the one on FT's site (9 5/8 x 15 5/8).  It's in good shape.  There is some tape residue on the back side, which you really don't see.  I took this out of mine to put a style-star sign since the SS looked better on my woody machine.  I'll let the sign go for $20 plus shipping if you are interested.

Id the red sign isn't what you want you can go to a local sign shop and have them make you a sign. I have them cut a piece of white plexiglass and put the logo on it and then have them cut a piece of clear plexiglass to put in front of the white plexiglass. This makes the vinyl logo in between the two pieces of plexiglass and makes it look like it is silkscreened onto the back of the clear plexiglass just like it was originally. It looks great! I can't take credit for this idea. Curtis taught me this when I made the frosty machine.

Thanks Dr. Galaga I will keep you in mind. Loman, thats a great idea. I actually have a friend who recently bought a sign shop in my town so I think I may go ask him if he could help. I really like the one on funtronics but $45 seems a little high too me, but then again I really like the vintage nostalgic look that it has.
