Title: Help! New milk machine...need info...
Post by: seper8tor on May 18, 2010, 10:44:35 am
I just purchased this machine and am trying to find any information on it.  I've researched and can't find anything.  I don't know the year or anything else.  The seller thinks its late 60's but I have my doubts.

The model number is DM 237E.

Serial number is 90926269

If anyone knows where I can find a manual or anything else on this machine please email me at jimo@cox.net or reply on this thread....thanks!

Now to arrange shipping...

It could be an early sixties machine, or late fifties.  I never saw this version.  It looks like Vendos Ice Cream and Milk machine were fused together.

It does look more like Vendo's upright ice cream machine.  I've never seen a billboard like that before though and its got a display case like the smaller milk machine but only displays 3 cartons!

Placed the manual for the Vendo Dairy-Vend Milk Vender in the Downloads Section under Misc.
Covers models: DM-165, DM-210, and DM-237

You have to go to http://soda-machines.com/index.php and log in there. Then the downloads section is under User menu on the left hand side.

I found a cool picture that has the DM237 Milk Machine.

Its exactly like mine...the one under the word "Skillet" on the faux western building.

Here's another great lineup...

At left appears to be your machine... and on the far right appears to be the older version of the icecream machine without the deluxe display and pre-select mechanism.

I'm not sure but I believe all the post select machines were made between 1955-1959

I also noticed something else in the picture. Look at the tops of all the vendo machines. They are painted white with chrome trim. That was a paint scheme used only for Coke machines. Did Vendo paint the milk and ice cream machines this way or did somebody else?

Does anyone know who made the hot foods machine in the picture?
