Title: Just bought this and added to the collection!!!! Post by: crackerman_don on May 11, 2016, 06:10:35 pm I just bought this from a older guy that goes to my church he said he bought this 30 yrs ago. It was 2 minutes from my house. I think it is a vendo 39 standard ice version which I think is a earlier model . It has original paint and it has spent all it's life inside it has no rust just worn through paint from use. It has wheels installed too. It was found inside the Tennesee fair grounds. It is stamped inside on the liner with TN-39-5 . If anybody has any insight on this machine let me know please. I think it was a vendo mechanism mounted on a Westinghouse box .

Vendo made the mech for Westinghouse bases. It's always great to find original stuff like this, fresh out of hiding. Title: Re: Just bought this and added to the collection!!!!

Nice that it has the cash box - almost always missing as is the drum. That's awesome that you have the internals too! Great score! |
