Title: Vendo 56 Just Finished
Post by: georgescustompaint on March 11, 2014, 10:42:44 pm
I purchased this Vendo 56 at the Chicago show last fall from my good friend Brenda.

I have been doing a restoration on it this winter and got it all finished up.
Just gotta load it with soda and beer!

Great resto!
I prefer the 56 to the 81 any day of the week..... I like how it's smaller, yet keeps the same coin door.

Very nice!  Almost makes you want to keep the coin door open when the mech looks like that!

The machine looks very nice.  One question though, why is the cover on the compressor silver?  I have restored four V-56s and they all had black covers originally.
