Title: Vendo 56 RT Bottle Door, converting to glass
Post by: 66GTO on April 09, 2013, 04:30:16 pm

Found this earlier post regarding the conversion to a glass bottle door on a Vendo 56 round top.

http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php?topic=12594.0

Does anybody know if the stainless steel pieces are reproduced?  I could not find them looking thru our sponsor sites.

If not, would it work to reuse pieces from a V81 door, shortened?  Anyone have a set for sale?

No one reproduces them, Yes V81 pieces would work shortened.

I have two V81 Bottle Doors for sale but do not want to piece them out.

Has anyone here talked to any of the part suppliers and see if they're coming up with something? I'm in the middle of doing the same thing to my 56 door and I'm telling my metal guy to " make it work" or come up with something ...but I would pay good money for a kit...maybe new glass, metal pieces, and foam gasket in a kit.

I might have a side set from an old 81 bottle door that I could sell you. Give Janet a call at Fun-Tronics and tell her we chatted on here about it and she should be able to fix you up. We also sell the top and bottom piece. It is the same as on the Vendo 81 bottle door also. So we should have everything you need to convert your door. Hope this helps.  :smile:
