Title: VMC VF56 Pepsi machine
Post by: johnieG on October 07, 2011, 09:06:50 pm
Here's another local find for the Detroit area Craigs list... I've always liked this style machie & the yellow Pepsi lightup ,( late 50's Eisenhower era "be sociable, have a Pepsi" ) as it's a nice small machine ( as any other VF56) runs like a top, nice & cold, picked it up near Ionia, Mi. ( just west of Lansing the state capital)

Yes, I saw these too, but he's a bit high $$$-wise for my budget especially since the Squirt is minus the rack & coin-mech.

Got it. Couldn't tell the racks were missing from the pics and there wasn't a price listed.

You'd have to combine the two to get one machine, & the M&S is just a generic with a 'tacker sign on it anyway,

The seller isn't very detailed in the ad. Probably for a reason.

Yes, I noticed that & he's rather strange on listing his contact phone number as well. maybe the tin-foil hat is on to tight? anyway, the squirt-55 is the winner in that pair, but you 'd have to take it's ugly sister on the date too.  :tounge:

Title: Re: VMC VF56 Pepsi machine - Sliders for Sale
Post by: Slider-Bob on October 10, 2011, 06:49:32 pm
I talked to her about the 2 sliders.  Both are generic.  The most valuable piece is the one coin mech, and she doesn't know if it works. 

A relative of hers supposedly offered $450 for both, which could be BS. 

I told her to take it, and if it falls through to call me...no call back yet.  I'm not getting my hopes up...

Hmmm... :upside:   She told me $600 for the pair... & she didn't respond when I asked if the run & get cold, she did confirm that neither one has a rack
