Hey guys... Just wondering if anyone has or knows of anyone that has a Vendo Decorator they'd like to get rid of.  I redid one a while back and a buddy of mine wants me to do one for him.  I know these machines aren't real desirable so I'm hoping someone has one they'd like to unload.  Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or leads on one of these machines.  Like always thanks for any and all responses.

Here's one that just popped up:

Thanks Jim... says local pickup only and unfortunately I'm in SD... any chance anyone is near Jonesboro, LA that could help me with pick up and getting it shipped?? Or anyone have any suggestions on how to approach getting this machine from LA to SD?

Not to be too critical, but somebody actually thinks that is attractive??????

Bunch of good parts in those machines.
Must have gone well with the paneling of the day. Pat??

      Oh no, it's quite ugly now  :censored:
 He re-skins that front door and makes a killer looking machine out of it.

Is anyone near LA or does anyone have a recommendation on a freight company?  I'd like to purchase a machine from LA, but need to get it to SD without selling my left and right arms.. is that even possible?  Any help would be appreciated even if it's to tell me to pass on the one in LA and look for one closer.

I got one free a year ago from a member near by me and I always thought they were ugly too, but I changed my mind.  They look awesome in the correct setting.  I have mine in the garage next to so metal racks and it looks like it belongs there.  A very industrial looking machine.  I tell people to go in the garage to get a pop or beer and they come out and say where's the Coke machine at????  Everyone thinks it's some form of cabinet.  A very cool machine.  Cools great and looks great in the right spot.

Try NAVL, North American Van Lines. I've been pretty happy with them. 1-800-369-9115

Here's another one and the current price is right:

Thanks for the replies guys.  Jim that is the same one that was posted on Ebay before in LA.. if I had a way to get the machine from LA to SD for less than $300 I'd be all over it, but freight isn't cheap enough to slip the machine past "the boss".  If anyone knows of a decorator in the midwest I'd sure be interested.

Keep watching CL.  One will pop up eventually.  It always seems like you see a million of the same item on CL until you start looking for one!

Price is too high but I thought I'd share it anyway.

I have 2 of them . In kansas

Thanks for all the posts guys.  I made a run at the ones in Denver, but never received a reply from the guy before he took the ad down... Zadd - What kind of shape are your machines in? What are you looking to get for them??

Further out than you wanted...........but for what they're asking you can cover part of your shipping

Here's one in Amarillo.

Three hundred bucks!!!! no way

That one in Rhode Island has been for sale for a long time.  You could probably get it for less than he is asking.  Looks fairly clean in the pictures.

I just picked up another one at a swap meet here in Lawrence . It's in great shape and working .
