Title: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: mllaugh3 on August 03, 2011, 11:50:44 am Anyone ever seen this model in a Faygo machine? Pretty cool.
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Slider-Bob on August 03, 2011, 12:14:24 pm Yes, I have and I'm interested in it. I've been in contact with the seller. He wanted $750, I offerred $250, he countered with $350. Waiting on a response from him.
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: mllaugh3 on August 03, 2011, 12:46:16 pm Good luck. $350 sounds like a fair price to me. Hope you get it. Neat machine.

Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Ltransam on August 03, 2011, 01:57:27 pm Nice Machine !! As the Michigan Mafia Knows Wink Wink I've Been Looking For the Same Machine With a Mechanical Mech In the Blue & White Faygo Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Kilroy on August 03, 2011, 02:08:01 pm I did not know that.
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: oscar on August 03, 2011, 02:11:36 pm I saw that advertised but it's too far away. I hope you get it. It's a very cool machine.
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Pat Pixley on August 03, 2011, 02:59:26 pm :censored: I MISSED THIS ONE TOO... :darn: :darn: :darn:
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Slider-Bob on August 03, 2011, 03:08:44 pm Yeah, $350 sounds like a pretty fair price to me as well, however I like $250 a hundred times better :biggrin:. He said the coin mech had been snapped out, then back in, and he didn't verify yet (to me) that it works works and vends properly. He's owned it since 82' and got it from a Farmington, Michigan Dealership that closed back then. We'll see what happens...
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: cokecolaman on August 03, 2011, 06:44:28 pm Great looking machine!
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Yarochrehc on August 04, 2011, 08:19:35 am Nice looking machine, hope you get it!
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Slider-Bob on August 04, 2011, 05:02:01 pm Well...it's a done deal. He sent me some more inside pics and we agreed on a sale price of $300. Seems like a good deal. I'm pretty excited, and I'm going to pick it up the 300 pound behemoth tomorrow morning. I guess that makes it a dollar a pound (plus chiropractic costs). He says it gets ice cold, and is 100% original. I'll post some pics this weekend once I learn how to resize photos for posting (I'll read up on the process from previous posts).
Thanks for everyone's encouragement about this machine. Always liked them, and now I'll have one! Cha-Ching! Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: BronzeGiant on August 04, 2011, 06:25:38 pm That is a VERY cool looking machine, I'm GREEN with envy...appropriate considering the color of the machine....
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: loman4ec on August 04, 2011, 06:30:16 pm I have had 4 of the same transitional 56's but not in Faygo and two V81 transitional and one was faygo but painted white and green. They are nice machines. I dont know the weight but I highly doubt it is 300 lbs. I can load and unload a V56 from my truck on my own if it is laying on its back and I have had a broken back and a crushed right hip ( had it replaced after the accident) so I am not the strongest person anymore and its not that hard to pick up.
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: johnieG on August 04, 2011, 08:37:56 pm This one a vmc V81...a little heavier than the v56 version
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: johnieG on August 04, 2011, 08:48:19 pm Here's another transitional V56/RC Cola in Minneapolis area, but the price is a bit nuts :tounge:

Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Slider-Bob on August 04, 2011, 09:16:35 pm Here's a better pic:
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: cokecolaman on August 04, 2011, 09:34:03 pm It looks pretty clean...
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: loman4ec on August 04, 2011, 09:42:27 pm Oh Shoot it is. Sorry It looked like a 56. I apologize
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: BrianB on August 04, 2011, 09:48:46 pm Sounds like you got a pretty good deal, way to go!
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Slider-Bob on August 05, 2011, 12:02:00 pm I just picked in up near Birch Run, Michigan from a nice guy who lived on a farm. Bought some super fresh corn and veggies from his neighbor while there. Machine Tag is a Vendorlator VF-81R-SA. I'm very happy with it! Not technically a barn find (although it was in a barn when I picked it up), it was in his Dad's basement in Lapeer, Michigan for the last 30 years. Gets Ice cold, fan spins on...I need to go thru it and see if it vends, check out the coin mech, etc. Either way, I was buying it, no matter if there are any issues or not. Faygo decals are a little scratched up in a spot or two, and ould use replacing (I hear JohnieG has a line on some, so I'll be contacting him). Overall, very straight...however the coin box is slightly bent (along with the stainless trim on the door) from where someone pried into at one time in a 1 inch area. Barely noticeable. No key on coin door (Anyone have a key for a RT-471 or KT-471?...hard to read). Otherwise time to drill out the lock. Definitely fixable. Needs a light bulb/plastic cover plate for the bottle door (if anyone has one for sale, LMK). I'll post pics tomorrow after I unload it and clean it up a bit. I'll do some before and after. Thanks everyone!
Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Jim on August 05, 2011, 08:17:03 pm Congrats on the new acquisition ! ! !

Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: davethebirdman on August 06, 2011, 07:26:36 am Josh 56 or 81 you take it easy matey... As you know you only got one back... That's a nice machine Bob.. Well done. A history with it too.. Dave Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Seven181 on August 06, 2011, 08:27:58 am Nice Score Bob! Growing up in Michigan you realize that Vernors is an awesome drink! Too bad most people in this country have no clue what it is! Great looking machine!
Brian :drinking: :drinking: Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Kilroy on August 06, 2011, 09:10:03 am Vernor's, Faygo, Atlas, Canada Dry and Towne Club. and Tico.
Yah, if you didn't group up in Michigan, or nearby, you missed out on some awesome local brews (Soda. Stroh's, was not so much awesome ) Title: Re: Faygo Vendorlator Post by: Slider-Bob on August 06, 2011, 09:47:41 am Some more pics...
