Here's a 110 that looks pretty good.  $600 though?  I'm thinking, if it runs well, between $400-500.  Thoughts?

If it is complete, $600 doesn't seem bad. Here is a recent thread on one that Brasskey started:

thx.  I remember that thread now.  sorry for the repeat.  Thanks again!

       Yes, jump on that one......because it doesn't need to be restored.

I'm working on it.  Unfortunately, they didn't leave a number, so having to wait on email contact.  I'm still going to offer $400 and hope to meet halfway between Austin and Houston.  It's not for me though, it's for a friend of mine that's been wanting one.  Will see how it goes!!!  Thanks guys!

Good luck!

nice original !

Unfortunately, they never emailed me or called... :down:  I guess they either sold it or didn't want to sell it.  Either way, doesn't look like I'll be able to get my hands on it.

Keep trying, the same thing happened to me on a Juke Box purchase three weeks ago. No response to my multiple calls, I thought all was lost, then that weekend the owner called me. I now own a Juke Box. Maybe the seller is out of town and hopefully he'll get home this weekend, see his messages, and call you.

Good luck

Good idea.  Thanks.

Ken,

I agree with RC.  I went back to a seller a month after he first listed a couple machines.  Found out he had not really pursued selling them but still needed to.  He was much more interested in negotiating a price rather than relisting the machines and starting from scratch.  I got what I thought was a pretty good deal.  In the pic you posted, it looks like that 110 is in a store room with a pile of dirty clothes, a broken lamp, and one old shoe.  In other words, its not the focal point of their rec room so I doubt they have a ton of emotional attachment to it.  Possibly just looking to clear out some space and make some money at the same time.  A little patience up front and some follow up shortly thereafter and you might find yourself with a new machine.  So don't give up and good luck!

I think $400 $600.00 is a fair price. I bought a Vendo -110 in June for $500.00.

If they do get back to you and able go look at it I would make sure to check to make sure the door isn't sagging to bad.  They have a tendency since the doors have wood doors.  I had read of one remedy on here was to shim the hinges with a couple of washers?  That may help.

I got very lucky mine was owned by the same owner for 34 years.  And before that it spent it's life indoors and a fire station in the greater Seattle area.



Good Luck..

Thanks.  If I can just get ahold of them I can find out those bits of information prior to driving 3 hrs to purchase...unless they want to give it to me for a steal sight unseen.  I'll keep you guys posted on how it turns out!
