Title: Very nice V-59 for sale
Post by: jholmgren on September 15, 2013, 08:43:48 am
Hi everyone,
With the change in season comes my lovely wife's inevitable desire to rearrange the entire household.  In order to maintain a happy household, I have decided to part with my Vendo V-59.

This is a pretty awesome machine, all original as far as I can tell and super clean, except for the cooling deck which appears to be a replacement.  It cools very well and all of the moving parts are present and functional.  It vends well on a nickel.

If anyone is interested, please PM me or shoot me an email directly at jholmgren "at" gmail dot com.  It is located in York, PA but I'm willing to help with delivery and/or shipping.

Here is a link to some larger pictures of it:

Thanks!
Jim

Thanks Jared, it is a really nice original.  I'm sad to see it go, but it just doesn't fit where I need to put it.

By the way, I'm calling it a V-59, but the serial number tag(s) both on the top and the body list it as a "B 59 C5".

OK - so I'm an idiot.  All of my other machines are dime or quarter machines.  It just dawned on my that this one is from 1948... so it runs on a nickel. 

When that though hit me I literally jumped up and ran out of the room with a nickel in my hand.   SUCCESS!  It works great on a nickel.  Jeez... I've been dumping dimes in this and trying to figure out why they fall right through into the return tray  ::facepalm::
