Title: Two machines I am considering, but only one to buy... Post by: iggybu on June 01, 2015, 08:07:35 pm I found a couple machines on Craigslist.
One is a Westinghouse WC-42T Doesn't appear to have the columns but the guy is not sure... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/atq/5050031784.html The second is a Vendo V-80E that has been sitting in a garage for about 40 years...nice and clean but also cleaned out! no coin mech, no columns. has the motor and does work and get cold. I offered $100 but the lady wants a little more even though her husband was just going to put it on the curb with a free sign. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/atq/5053394676.html Which shall I go for??? Which would be easier to get parts for (and cheaper)??? Title: Re: Two machines I am considering, but only one to buy... Post by: Slapshot42 on June 01, 2015, 08:28:33 pm Go get that Vendo 80 ASAP for $500! The cabinet fit a Vendo 81 never know you might find a 81 Door!!
Title: Re: Two machines I am considering, but only one to buy... Post by: coke_and_stuff on June 01, 2015, 08:46:15 pm I'd buy both! Westinghouse has a large door coin mech. 80 looks great as is or as Jared said will make a great donor machine to build a 81!

Title: Re: Two machines I am considering, but only one to buy... Post by: iggybu on June 03, 2015, 08:27:59 pm Well i wouldve snapped a pic of it in the jeep but....worked graveyard last night til 6am, had to wake up at 830 and bring my jeep in to get the front end redone....(JustEmptyEveryPocket). Was stressing ot because on the way to pick up the machine last night my slave clutch decided to break on me...that was fun getting home to switch vehicles instead of going straight to work. :darn: The vendo fit laying on its side in my jeep so didnt have to stand it up though i wish i had. :laugh: the machine gets cold fast! The couple i got it from had it in a storage type room (shed?) for about 40 years and the husband has had it in the family since he was 12 or so. No insides but no rust either. :) looks like it had been repainted at one time though...got a pic of it next to my westy. $200, definitely worth it!

Title: Re: Two machines I am considering, but only one to buy... Post by: Eric on June 03, 2015, 09:23:05 pm If you lay a machine down should you not plug it in for a while... I've always heard that.
It looks to be in really nice shape. Title: Re: Two machines I am considering, but only one to buy... Post by: iggybu on June 03, 2015, 10:32:47 pm I pulled it out this morning and it sat for about 4 hours before i got a chance to really look at it and plug it in. Thanks for the heads up on that.
