Title: New vendo 63
Post by: loman4ec on October 20, 2004, 09:13:07 pm
Well this is a follow up to my post help me id this machine in the pre 60's section. Well it turned out to be a Vendo 63 A. If the serial number dating thing works this machine was made on December 1961. #01127346. That is correct right? Well this machine is really clean. I don't know if it works yet because they met me half way so it was on its back, but the inside is flawless. The outside is in really good shape. It has a few small surface rust spots here and there but it is really clean. The Chrome, or is it aluminum, is perfect. The machine is complete except for the cap catcher. Well what do you all think? What is this machine worth? And last does anyone want a Vendo 63 at a good price. I am in daytona Beach FL.

Well I just plugged it in and it cools great. It couldn't be any better. What do you all use to clean origional machines. It is nice on the outside but could use a polish. I didn't want to use rubbing compound untill you all gave me your advice. Man this is a nice machine.

Any non abrasive cleanser should work, I prefer Murphy's oil soap, it's also good at breaking up grease and dirt buildup without ruining the paint.

I'm personally scared of rubbing compound, let's leave it to  a bad experience at 17 with a can of Maguire's and my 67 Plymouth. Has anyone tried car wax? If so, is it workable?

Edit : It is a nice looking machine. Congrats to ya

So I guess the vendo 63 I found up here for $600 isn't out of line

If I wasn't in Michigan, Loman, I'd be bidding on your machine, but the shipping costs are stopping me :(

I believe I can get it to you for between $250 and $300. Just an offer. It is still only at $199 you never know you might get a deal. I have decided to do it as a no reserve auction. I will be happy with whatever it takes.
