Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 27, 2005, 08:31:04 pm I was looking through the photos of Choice Vend machines for a model that has a bottle door on the left, but didn't see one. Anybody know what model Choice Vend would be a bottle vendor/slant shelf machine? Any thoughts on Choice Vend machines? I know they aren't the most popular, but are parts easy/difficult to come by? Thanks.
Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 28, 2005, 07:52:13 am Found it. It is either a VU 9-72 or a 12-120, which are listed on this site. Must have just skipped them the first time I looked.

Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 28, 2005, 11:31:53 am Hey all,
This is the machine I was looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1 I could pick it up, but don't know if it would even be worth messing with. Opinions? Title: Choice vend Post by: Bob K on March 28, 2005, 12:03:21 pm Dan - just fyi, there's a Choice-Vend parts lot up on ebay right now. I have no idea if they would be interchangable with the machine you are looking at.
Here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....me=WDVW Bob Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 28, 2005, 12:41:58 pm Thanks Bob, I can see the model number on the tag and will see what I can figure out.
Hey all, here is the other machine I am looking at, but I hate to take on two projects. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1 The Choice Vend (mentioned above) supposedly has all of the shelves, but I didn't get the photos of the inside I asked for and it ends really soon. I guess as far as looks go, that would be a personal preference on which style is nicer. I know neither is very desireable. They are both large. I am thinking the Cavalier might be cool as a can vendor (does it vend cans?) I could pick up either one. Any thoughts? Thanks. Title: Choice vend Post by: Bob K on March 28, 2005, 01:11:32 pm I like the Cavalier. At 62" it's not that big a machine.
Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 28, 2005, 03:41:33 pm True. The Choice-Vend looks awfully tall and I think would take quite a bit more work than the Cavalier. I think I like the looks of the Cavalier and it would be more practical as a can machine.
Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 28, 2005, 06:28:28 pm Ok, I passed on the Choice-Vend. It ended at $43.00. I thought it might even be worth parting out, but how many people would really need parts off of that thing? I don't want a heap sitting around.
Title: Choice vend Post by: on March 28, 2005, 06:48:57 pm A smart decision if you ask me.
But I feel for ya' because it is very painful to turn down any soda machine for a mere $43. Title: Choice vend Post by: halehouse on March 28, 2005, 08:49:50 pm I know, but I had too many things in my "no" column. If it had been a shorter Vendo, Cavalier, or other I probably would have not even thought about it. My Vendo 63 is being painted now and I am looking at another machine anyhow.
