I'm trying to post a picture also, but it keeps telling me file size to big Title: Re: VF 165 F-A, is this a real machine Post by: copper1 on May 30, 2015, 08:50:53 am VF 165 FA

Title: Re: VF 165 F-A, is this a real machine Post by: copper1 on May 30, 2015, 09:20:31 am Its my first machine, I figured $80 wasn't to bad. Would love to flip it and sell it and work my way up to a nicer machine. Seems like paperwork is hard to find for the old girl

The selection buttons are oval and have the item selection all in the same button. I'm trying to post a picture also, but it keeps telling me file size to big I would say it is a "VF-165". The FA probably denotes a variation of the cosmetics and some minor updates from the original VF-165. Still a 165 can push-button vendor from VMC. It is a neat looking beastie. Does it have a can-opener? If not, that may be one of the main differences between the original VF-165. Yours may post-date the invention of the 'pop top'.

Ser# 02-78-22 Mod# 08-56-007 Anyone ? Would their still be a service manual around? Title: Re: VF 165 F-A, is this a real machine Post by: tkaz on May 30, 2015, 03:27:53 pm All I can find is the parts manual from Vendo: http://www.vendoco.com/Documents/Serpentine%20165,%20246.pdf
