Title: My name is Andrew and I have a problem Post by: LEDCREATIONS on May 07, 2012, 04:16:45 pm I'm addicted to coke machines! Haha I do have a problem. My first purchase was a vendo -110 and restored it. Then a Glaxo gbv-50 restored it. Then in bought a wb-78 for 80 bucks. I decided to copy collecture and make a dr pepper version. Then I saw a wb-128 for 100. Both didn't cool but vend motors both worked and one coin mech worked. Today I bought a wb-68 for 60 bucks. It cools and coin acceptor works then vend motor was shot. Through one in and everything is good to go.
I want to do something different then coke and just did the dr pepper version. Any ideas what to turn the lil guy into. The wb-128 I'll probably gut since no one likes that model and turn it into a paint cabinet but since no one likes it.

New one picked up today 60.00 vend motor was shot replaced can works great don't know what to turn it into. (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i252/Faststang70/b6960b5e.jpg) Picked up for 50.00 doesnt cool coin mech didn't work turning into a dr pepper machine (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i252/Faststang70/d049d727.jpg) Bought for 100.00 doesnt cool but is a recharge system everything else works don't know what to do with it. Thinking of parting out and using the shell as a paint cabinet (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i252/Faststang70/53b37a24.jpg) Title: Re: My name is Andrew and I have a problem Post by: ciawarrior on May 08, 2012, 09:41:37 am very cool!, wish I could pick up items at that price

Title: Re: My name is Andrew and I have a problem Post by: collecture on May 08, 2012, 08:06:15 pm Today I bought a wb-68 for 60 bucks. They are WB-60's - just wanted to set the record straight. And yes, they are great little machines! I love mine! The one in my garage is my daily driver and has been running non-stop for a couple of years now vending both cans and bottles!

Out of all three which one is the most Wanted and most valuable. Thoughts of current market and in the future. I ask because the 128 I've never seen and that's the one I'm thinking of gutting and turning into a paint cabinet Title: Re: My name is Andrew and I have a problem Post by: LEDCREATIONS on May 09, 2012, 03:32:14 pm Sorry wb126!
