Title: Vendo 80 door made into a Vendo 81 Post by: tkaz on July 19, 2013, 09:21:36 am Just a random thought this morning...has anyone built a punch to make Vendo 80/144 (others?) doors into manual vend 56/81/110 large doors? I thought I remember someone mentioning it on this forum at some point, but it seems like it might be worth the tooling cost.

That is why it is not the same depth.Title: Re: Vendo 80 door made into a Vendo 81 Post by: Smallblock on July 21, 2013, 06:27:03 am Here is a coindoor with same depth as a v56/110/81 That would need a punch tool to make the crankhandle hole.

However, the coin return cup is too far to the left for a mechanical mech. Title: Re: Vendo 80 door made into a Vendo 81 Post by: Kilroy on July 21, 2013, 12:07:48 pm $500 for a transitional VMC 81? I'd be all over it if it weren't cross country
