Title: Item on Door of Machine. Post by: Sarman47 on January 18, 2014, 10:10:59 pm Just wondering what is on the front of this machine ? I was thinking a bottle opener. Although I see what looks like a place for an opener on the right beside the lock. Apparently it's a Vendo 92A.

Just guessin Title: Re: Item on Door of Machine. Post by: johnieG on January 18, 2014, 10:23:22 pm it's a can opener for the old steel cans prior to the invention of the "pop-top"
It has a heated (sterilized) piercing can opener. Title: Re: Item on Door of Machine. Post by: Sarman47 on January 18, 2014, 10:49:16 pm Thanks JohnieG

When did those peel tab cans come to market? Did Coke Pepsi etc... ever have the peel lids? I remember as a kid having apple juice in a tin can with that peel top. I remember how sharp it was too lol :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Item on Door of Machine.

barefoot, had the chain of tabs hanging from the rear view mirror. ... Title: Re: Item on Door of Machine. Post by: MoonDawg on January 19, 2014, 10:58:33 am I see, the Pepsi can is steel, only the peel strip is aluminum.
The next new all aluminum pop top cans with the disposable rings were a bad idea from the beginning, especially at lakes and beaches. But broken glass had long been a nuisance there too. Nowdays the whole plastic container goes from the lake to the river to a big collection site in the ocean :glare: Title: Re: Item on Door of Machine. Post by: HowDueYouDue on January 19, 2014, 05:31:46 pm Interesting. Knew it was for opening cans but didn't realize it was heated for sanitation.
