Title: Gertner Vendor anyone??
Post by: sc1101 on February 10, 2016, 02:22:21 pm
Has anyone ever seen a Gertner Vendor in person? It looks like a really cool machine to operate. If anyone knows where one is located or has any info please send me a PM. I will pay someone $100.00 for a lead that turns into a purchase. I know its a long shot but worth a try. Thanks Seth

I'm sure Resto Rick can find you one behind a local school, or underneath a table at a swap meet!  :laugh:

No.... only PARTS are found at flea markets for machines.... Ricks brother brings machines to Pawn Stars and everyone pretends they don't know each other.   :laugh:

Gertner was located in Cincinnati, Ohio.   Jared, The picture Jim has was taken years ago and he doesn't recall where it was. It does look real nice. I'd love to get my hands on that one.

Never seen one either. I didn't notice the chute at first, for a minute or so I thought you turned the crank and the glass rolled down.

I wonder where they all went(?)
Appears that the Coca Cola indicia are all decals and not metal signs.
