I've actually been to your dad's shop before, he was restoring a Jacobs 56 for a friend of his, he does amazing work, he took me on the basement tour lol he certainly has some amazing stuff down there, anyhow awesome job, clearly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree lol
Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: georgescustompaint on January 08, 2014, 06:52:37 am Thanks guys !!
Kilroy -lol my Tok. 36B is slowly coming along lol it's painted just gotta assemble it Jeffmon - that's cool you have been at the shop, do u live in Ontario too ? Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: Jim on January 08, 2014, 08:20:43 am Very Nice Shane ! ! !
Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: MaineT on January 08, 2014, 10:30:31 am Very nice.. Just out of curiosity, do you set them up for US coins or that northern funny money that seems to show up in my pocket too often in Maine?
Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: Jeffmon on January 08, 2014, 10:43:20 am Jeffmon - that's cool you have been at the shop, do u live in Ontario too ? I do live in Ontario, I'm in Niagara Falls, I can throw a rock on U.S. soil from my house but im definitely in Canada ! Funny thing, when I visited your shop you guys had a line up of about 25 vendo 44's against the back wall of the shop lol it was a bit like heven lol... I guess your dad had just empitied out all the storage trailers and brought everything into the shop so it was filed from walls to ceiling lol I had never seen that many machines in one spot before lol it was pretty cool ! Just so you guys can get an idea of how much stuff was there, I'd say the shop is about 8,000 to 10,000 square feet... it was a long time ago so I might be off on size but wow there was allot of stuff lol Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: mznb1u on January 08, 2014, 05:10:48 pm Nice! I'll trade you my unrestored 44 for that one! :biggrin: 8) :laugh:

Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: collecture on January 08, 2014, 05:52:30 pm Looks like it just rolled off the Vendo line!
Love the simplistic look!! What is the decal inside the coin door? Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: georgescustompaint on January 08, 2014, 07:16:38 pm Tim - it really depends on if the machine had a Canadian or US slug rejector. I have restored them both ways, really just up to the customer. I have taken the magnet out of the slug rejector on some machines before, to allow for the Canadian dimes to pass though, but it really is kind of a pain in the @$$ so I usually just leave it whatever it came original.
Jeff- good to learn another fellow Ontario collector is on here. We don't have as many 44's as you saw but still have some. They are getting harder to buy. Tom - Decal is a reproduction $100 "reward" decal from funtronics. I like them, and people tend to think they are neat.

You should have your dad show you how he does it! Just kidding buddy...You guys both do great work! Send one my way! Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: cyberphox on January 18, 2014, 03:15:47 am Toronto here..just bought my first Vendo 44 back in September. Was in Lindsay once but never stopped in!
Title: Re: VENDO 44 FINISHED Post by: CoinOpCrazy on January 18, 2014, 03:58:54 am Wow that is very impressive! Good work. I can get one for about $100 but to me its worthless cause its missing everything and has a side vent cut out. Bad fan motor as well.
