Title: Vendolator ID help
Post by: kbareit on October 27, 2012, 09:59:13 pm
Found this machine on CL and is listed as a Vendolator. I called on it and the seller didn't know what model it was ( didn't seem to want to look at the ID tag). anyone know what model it is?
                                          Thanks, Ken

That's what I was thinking. Even if it doesn't run I can have it cooling in a couple hours plus it's only 30 min. away. Gonna suck getting all those stickers off though.

A heat gun will remove those stickers in no time. Heat for a few seconds while you pull it off.  Easy peezy.

I just brought it home a little while ago and haven't unloaded it yet, pouring down here. Got it for $100.00, the kid that had it just wanted it out of his garage. I'll get it checked out tomorrow and post some pics. I need to find more this size, much easier to move than the beast's I've been getting.

It probably goes without saying, but here goes...

Don't use the heat gun on the plastic pepsi marquis, and don't use goof-off or goo-gone on the plastic either. It will melt or severely damage the finish. Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually use WD-40 on the plastic it takes the adhesive off with a little elbow grease and doesn't damage the plastic.
