Title: Vendo 81a power cord Post by: photogman on July 09, 2010, 09:27:20 pm I was wondering if a person can pick up a power cord for the Vendo 81a locally at like say Lowe's or Home Depot? I was going to buy one from a highly regarded reputable pop machine vendor only to find the shipping was over $15 just for a power cable. Not that I don't want to support our businesses on here..... the cable was a fair price, but the shipping was like ouch. Especially when US Mail sell those prepaid boxes for about $5 or less that would hold a cable.

I think they sell 8" long, 12 or 14 ga. w/ground, black extension cords. Buy it and cut the female side off amd strip back the insulation and you will be in business.

I don't want to put a wiring harness on it myself because I want all that stuff to be new when I get it restored. I will try to get some pics posted but I have a feeling somebody painted this machine once. The gasket on the bottle door is red. I believe that should be black??
