Hello & welcome to SMC...the lack of instant response is due to that this late model is a bit out of the scope of the general population of this website, ( serviceable & neat to own for fun, but hardly collectible) but yes, there are some parts still floating around, I'd can tell you that I've replaced the compressors on a few of this type over the past year locally (Michigan), as for parts, try vendors exchange international inc. ( better known as VEII.com ) or Capital vending of Maryland.

There are a few of our advertisers here on the site, Global compressors for one, that could also rebuild the compressor deck assembly if needed. it also depends on if it's a Vendo, Cavalier, or a Dixie-Narco, Royal-vendors, etc.

I often refer to this model style as a "flat-face" 80's era vendor, as opposed to the "bow-out" (with a convex/curved the full length of the front of the machine, light-up display panel ) 90's style they're all about 600+ lbs monster vendors, many were dedicated 12-oz can vendors, will later models would vend plastic bottles.
