Post by: loman4ec on January 16, 2005, 10:44:02 pm

Well I found another great deal. I just bought a Vendo 110 from here in Cincy today. I found it through selling parts from a machine that I had. The man that owned it has a collection that you wouldn't believe. I don't think there are many collections of rare signs like his out there. This machine was converted to a Pepsi machine sometime in its life but they just bolted a sign over the coke so the coke embossing is still in good shape. This machine is as rust free as you can find. It is missing the slug rejector and 4 shelves but other than that it is all there. He says that it cools great but it was too cold to check, but I know that it will. Not a bad find for $250. Also I bought a 7up embossed S&S Quikold cooler that looks like the 1400wd2 but it has a different bottle opener for $200. It is in great shape, is complete, and works. I am going to get it in a few weeks. Not too bad for one day and I gained a new friend out of it.

I may have one you Kevin. I had a neighbor offering to sell me a vendo 63, tall , early 60's , no real simulated woodgrain. He bought it for a 50's style basement, but the wife had other design ideas ideas, and it now sits in a garage, . I can check if it's available still, At the time, I used up all my spare cash on a V39

Hey that’s great that your wife likes it. I have 30+ dispensers now and my wife just doesn’t see the point in “keeping those old things around”.

The star wheel machine is actually a Cavalier C-27. That is my next project once I get the vendo 110 finished Leonard is having me do that machine. I honestly can't wait to start on that one.

Thanks. The button with the wire must have been part of some display, so I just hung it from the ceiling.

Leonard,

Sent you an email using the link in your profile. Thanks for the comments. I have a glascock too that wasn't in the photos. I need to update those. I think at one time someone took a few inches out of the legs to shorten the cooler. You can see where it is welded in the middle of the legs.

Hello Ltransam, Cavalier 27
The slug rejector is the same as the ones used on a VMC 33, V39, etc. You will also need a electric krem, this is to return coins when the machine is empty of bottles. Try calling Steve Jebb from the Soda jerk works, he is an expert on these C27's. He could possibly help you out with the locking bar as well. I restored one of these last year, take a good look at the cork seal (inside bottom seal) these are not reproduced. This seal holds up the inside cooling system. This is very tricky to hold back up and seal. There is a plate on the bottom side with 6 bolts as you tightened these bolts you will find that if you do not get a good solid seal it will pull the inside cooling system out of the machine. Good luck with this. The six bolts on the bottom plate are easy to break the anchored nuts loose as well. So be careful. Terry
