Title: Vendo 44 Anyone!! Yeah Baby!!! Not for 400.00 BUT who cares, Its a Vendo 44!!
Post by: TheGarbageHunter on June 25, 2013, 09:25:14 pm
Been busy the last couple of hours picking this guy up.

Its a very nice original Vendo 44. Came with a case of soda/bottles and a copy of Jeff Walters Book, 1st edition?

Anyways, I have never owned a Vendo 44, nice machines!!!

This thing blows arctic cold, has a new compressor.

Not perfect but what can one expect for a 55 Year Old machine.

The Garbage Hunter!

Very nice score!  Vendo 44's are such classic and cool machines.  I like the empties rack on the side

The Garbage Hunter!

If you think that thing is garbage, come over and throw it out in my trash can.  :biggrin:

Thanks Everyone!

Machine looks great.


Does anyone know this model of cooler?

I have never seen one and not sure if its value.

Looks like an airline cooler but not sure.

Book says a Progress A2. Also says it would have had a lift out food tray (which seem to be always missing)
To give you an idea of how old this book is.. the price is $55 - Ha.
Prices seem to be all over the place at antique malls I would check ebay and see where they finish at.
