To me, the 80 is the most underrated / valued machine. Sure it's a single vend with no crank, but with the large door and the larger embossing, it is a well balanced, sharp looking machine for someone that wants a classic coke machine. Nice pick up!

Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Slider-Bob on January 14, 2015, 07:26:46 pm Great find Jared! Looks super clean!
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: jholmgren on January 14, 2015, 07:49:00 pm I really like my 80, I think it looks great as a display piece. Mine is not nearly as nice as that one Jared - well done!
Chris - they are probably in the $300-$500 range in decent condition although I would probably go a bit higher for one in Jared's condition. Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: HowDueYouDue on January 14, 2015, 08:08:33 pm Nice find. Congrats
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Slapshot42 on January 14, 2015, 08:53:57 pm I paid $700 and I really had to think about it...
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: jholmgren on January 14, 2015, 09:10:03 pm I think you did OK Jared. If I came across that and didn't have one already - I'd probably be in at that price.

If I came across that and didn't have one already - I'd probably be in at that price. It wasn't s BIN deal but I had to favor the pick up time of just a few miles so no gas costs, etc! Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Jared on January 14, 2015, 09:49:40 pm Great looking machine. I would have jumped on that. So clean
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: sc1101 on January 14, 2015, 09:59:21 pm I think its a good looking machine in great condition and more then fair price.
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: ZiaDan on January 15, 2015, 10:11:15 am Great looking machine!
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Chris on January 15, 2015, 10:26:51 am I paid $800 for my all red and it is the same condition as yours. It also came with a stand up case rack that holds three wooden cases. Great pick up for the $$.

I mean if I put a coin in how does it vend. Magical fairys on Coke drop the bottle when they get a coin or does the bottle drop from some motorized mechanism. No shelves like a Cavalier where gravity and a solenoid let the machine dispense a bottle. Just curious about the mechanical and electrical part of the vending. I am also glad it "works great" though. :biggrin: Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: jholmgren on January 15, 2015, 09:39:59 pm I new that was coming. lol :laugh: Larry - the bottles are stacked up in three columns. There are rollers across the bottom of the columns that roll sideways just enough each time it vends to drop one bottle from a particular stack. Pretty neat bit of engineering. Reminds me a little bit of a cam shaft in a car.I mean if I put a coin in how does it vend.

Do the new Coke bottles work? I bought some Coke bottles for my VMC72 and they do not work in the machine. Coke narrowed their bottles so my machine is useless unless I make some sort of adapter for the machine. The 72 has a carriage that tilts left with one vend, center with another, then right with another vend. You cord the bottles on top of each other and they rest against each other and sit on what I call a rocker ear. The left side bottle comes out then the right side bottle (dual chute machine). Since the bottles are too narrow now, they just fall through. Just curious if the 80 has a similar issue. Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80..

Coke narrowed their bottles so my machine is useless unless I make some sort of adapter for the machine. To adapt these stacks to the new narrow bottles, the width of the column must also be reduced, but only at the lowest point where the bottles are waiting to be released. Velcro strips on each side of the 4 columns work fine for me. Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Larry on January 16, 2015, 10:36:30 am Thanks for the tip.
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: jholmgren on January 16, 2015, 01:33:33 pm Agree with Glen - I made 'shims' from some corrugated plastic for my V80. It will vend the new bottles fine.
Funtronics also sells a shim kit for the 80. I had the same issue with my 33 - it would jam on the new bottles but vended the old ones like a champ. Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Slapshot42 on January 16, 2015, 01:35:38 pm If you look carefully you will see this one has already been shimmed...
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: georgescustompaint on January 16, 2015, 03:59:58 pm Looks like a nice clean machine. Well worth the price. Very nice

I noticed that - looks like the kit from Funtronics. Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: Slapshot42 on January 16, 2015, 05:49:05 pm Came with the machine! Is this machine capable of vending cans?
Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: jholmgren on January 16, 2015, 06:22:42 pm Came with the machine! Is this machine capable of vending cans? I don't think so. The shims are for the newer slim bottles. Title: Re: Picked up a Decent Vendo 80.. Post by: GreenMo on January 16, 2015, 06:43:14 pm A shim is a wonderful thing. There's even a song about them "shim shiminy shim shiminy shim shim sheroo. . ." Oh wait it could be "chim chiminey..." :laugh:
