Title: Vendo 81D No Crank
Post by: sdi950 on November 02, 2011, 01:23:02 am
I'm looking to buy a Vendo 81D.  One I've seen pics of has no crank handle on the coin door and it looks like one was never meant to be there.  Has anyone ever seen any like that?

      Yes, those have been converted to electric. There is a plate covering the hole for the handle and many times these have been bondo'd and painted over so it looks like there was never a hole. It gets expensive when trying to locate the original coin mech, linkage and bottle stack components to revert back to mechanical.
