Title: Vendo 35?
Post by: tkaz on January 10, 2013, 09:37:21 pm
Curious on the ID of this machine, I have seen it listed down here for the last few months and I don't think it's too bad for the price.  Considering it's all there (pending photos of the inside) and the cooling system works.

Jim, do you use yours?  What bottles does it take, just the small ones?

Jim got his from me, and it's at Pat house now, so he hasn't used it or seen it in person yet.

But yes, it takes 6.5 or 8oz coke bottles, or the 7 oz beer bottles only.

LOL - I like Bob's reply - I would load it with the 8oz bottles, available for me at Sams Club. 

I own almost as many machines that I've never laid my hands on than I have at home.   :biggrin:

Right now the only one I use on a regular basis is my CS-96e.  It's a square-top, but extremely versatile. However I will probably ditch it for daily user in favor of the Ideal Coke slider when Pat is done restoring it.   Smaller, quieter and still multi-selection.
