Title: Anyone know how to contact Jeff Walters? Post by: loman4ec on June 03, 2010, 09:10:21 pm In his book he says that the VMC 33 can vend cans. I was wondering what it takes to do this?

Post by: Larry on June 03, 2010, 10:07:45 pm There was a guy years ago, at the Chicagoland show, that made a new drum for the 33's so it would vend cans. I don't remember much about it, because I didn't have a 33 and I wasn't interested in cans, but I remember this guy mentioning that Jeff talked about the machine vending cans and he said that it could vend cans because of his drum. He had a few drums for sale, but that had to be nearly ten years ago.

My friend is a quite skilled metal worker. Does everyone think there would be a demand for these? What is the opinions of everyone?

They are far more plentiful and you always see them turning up on ebay minus the drum. When I first had my 39 I spent ages looking for a can drum without any luck. I would think there would be a greater market for a 39 rather than a 33... Dave Title: Re: Anyone know how to contact Jeff Walters?

I had thought about it before and now that I have a V39 in my shop I see how in depth the drum really is. The 33 drum in very simple. I am going to pull the drum today and take a good look.
