Cool stuff... I really like the popcorn machine, it has a nice retro look to it.

I think that first one is a Choice Vend. Maybe a CVC-168. I had a Coca Cola CVC-224, that thing was H-E-A-V-Y! Vending problems can be a bear to fix on those things, especially if it comes to taking the heavy vend rack out. My whole machine weighed a good 530 lbs, but it was somewhat bigger.

Mine needed freon, which I could've paid (dearly) to fix, but the vending system was faulty. When I was told I'd need to take the 300+ lb vend rack out to fix it, I decided to cut my losses.

If you've got stout help and a good shop, it could be managed. Parts may be difficult to find.

I like the 1950s Bastian Blessing soda fountain.  Great if you have the room.
