I just got a vendorlator 56 squaretop pepsi machine and it only has 1 shelf.
I need to get, I think I counted...6 more.
Anyone has any decent used ones for sale, please contact me.
Thanks
Randy

Let Me Check I think I have a Full Set

cool!
yea, let me know
Thanks!

I believe funtronics has repop's if you don't find any originals

I seen that...just didnt wanna drop a ton into it....at least right now.
Got it cooling and the can stack working....

      The can shelves are different than the bottle shelves so you should be specific.

bottle shelves are spring loaded, right?
Cans arent

Spring loaded shelves were used in the roundtops, and I have owned a few that were in early transitional machines.

Later square tops used shelves without the spring loaded guide. and yes can stack and bottle stack machines use two different type of shelves.

I tried a can in it and it works with cans

I know the original can shelves were designed so that the lip of the old steel pop-top cans would interlock as they rolled down. I can't see why todays cans wouldn't work with a bottle shelf. I do not have a lot of experience with can assemblies though. Could someone enlighten me as to why can racks NEED can shelves to work?

       The main difference is the cans must stay forward of the kicker. The length is the same, notches may be slightly different but bottle shelves probably could be used with the addition of spacers.
      Pic of both below.

Aren't there adjustment holes on the stack shelves like on bottle stacks?

mine has adjustable holes on the rear, but front (where the can rolls down to) I only see 1 hole/slot

Can stacks have the holes. but the rectangular shaped can-gates are permanently bolt in place, as they is no need to adjust them for cans.

Was out looking at the difference between my bottle and can shelves. Moondawg's Picts do a good job of showing the difference. Seems that the bottle shelf should be easy to make work.

There is a website that has v56 can shelves but they are more expensive than the repop's at soda-jerk works and funtronics.

STILL in need of 6 can shelves....decent used coin catcher too if anyone has one

I may have one...I'll check.

ok, thanks

Thought I'd toss this thread back into the discussion for those who want to convert a Vendo from bottles to cans...anywho, here you go.    :smile:

cool reading! I think I might do the light like he did!
I did replace the door one with a blue led night light bulb from walmart...looks kinda neat!
Need 6 shelves tho....this thing gets ICE COLD!
oh.....anyone have a plastic marquee so I can convert to it from the metal marquee?

I have a 3D Pepsi cap sign with no frame, but I forget if it's for a V63 or V56, what is your signs dimensions? (Height x Wide across the face)

15 1/2 wide by 11 1/2 tall
you got pics?

I've got a better Pic on my other flash drive, but this will do until I find out were I left it...

is it the same size?
how much are you asking?

I have to go over to my storage unit & get the measurements, but I'm pretty sure it came off of a VF56 & I'll send you a P.M.

ok, thanks

still looking for 6 can shelves....anyone?

still looking...no one?

this is a picture of the ones I need...I'd like to stick to can shelves (http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w520/dreamster66/100_5947.jpg)
