Post by: BWard on July 29, 2011, 11:22:09 am
Hello, Can anyone tell me the Manufacturer, Model Number, Year and Value of this Coke Machine?
I plugged it in and it does get cold, But I have not had the time yet to try it to see if it works or not.
Thank You Very Much For Your Help.
Brian

Vendo 6 case vertical. They don't sell for much. People want the ones with the coin mechs. They are also big and heavy. I've seen them for around $4-500. This one looks to be in very good shape.

Hi & welcome to the site,

It's a Vendo 6-case self serve cooler...here's the link to the info in the soda machines section...typically these sell for around $300-500 around my neck of the woods.

Since there is no coin mech, and it gets cold, only other thing to test is the bottle opener and if the door opens :)
If you do like it,  also check for sagging in the door. That is not a good thing.

Also, check around the perimeter of the Breaker Strip and Main Door Gasket for missing screws. The machine is framed in wood and is most times rotted thus not holding the screws. Bottle Door is prone to rust out on the bottom as well. No missing screws and little rust is always a good sign.
The machine is a good back patio/party machine because it can vend cans as well as bottles. While not designed for cans, they vend easily enough.
