I have the "Vendo movie" that was discussed about a month ago. I split the movie in to 3 parts (due to the size) and I will leave each one up for about a week and then I'll move on the the next one.
The second and third ones are better than the first.

Get out the popcorn and....um....soda(?) and enjoy!

Thats really interesting. Thank you so much I can't wait for the second. Being that I wasn't around in the 60's or even 70's I really like seeing background on these machines.

Thats cool!
It's off the DVD that is on ebay all the time. I got my copy and it's real iffy on playability. Anybody want to borrow let me know.
Stay tuned for part two. Painting of the cabinets had me on the edge of my seat:-). Great work Dr. G.
Thanks for sorting how to share for all!!

Oh sure, no one (except my good friend Eric) was interested in it when I volunteered to mail around the DVD copy that I purchased on ebay back in February... now it's all the rage. 
See the thread, "Sharing a 1960 coke/vendo machine training film" at: http://soda-machines.com/cgi-loc....;t=1935
I tell ya', I get no respect.
The quality on mine seems really good and the DVD version fills the whole tv screen.

That is cool. I like seeing the old stations and stuff, but man is that designer a boring stiff!

Yeah. I am actually a video and TV producer and when I saw that video, it made me think of the bad decisions some people make in having engineers appear in a video instead of actors. Two words: boring and uncomfortable.
Also, I had to laugh when I saw that they got stuck shooting the folks outside at the marina on a super windy day. I would have rescheduled. Their hair was flying all over the plcae and that one guy had to hold his towel down the whole time bacuse it was blowing away!
But other than that I loved the video. I love how things looked and how people cated in the 60's. Reminds me of growing up then.

Man, that movie is a blast. Really enjoyed part one. I cannot wait to see the credits and see what production company did it. I swear it was filmed in Detroit. The mall was Northville Mall which was one of the first enclosed shopping malls built in 58. The industrial builing was The Ford World Headquarters. The lobby they were in was Ford centennial Library in Dearborn. The riverfront scenes are dead ringer for a patio at a downriver bar with scenic views of Grosse Ile. Very cool.

There are no credits. All it says is a Jam Handy Picture.

What a hoot - I kept waiting for Wally and the Beaver to make cameos! I especially liked the way the cardboard man referenced the square corners as design innovations. Wouldn't have recognized the Ford building if Brian hadn't mentioned it but he's right. I can hardly wait to see next week's instalment.

I also got a RCA TV video - it stars Sarnoff and Zworkian and is just as bad. It is pretty neat though, it does show how tv works (a few things are off since they were trying to simplify it) and they talk about the next new thing - color TV!
History lesson: David Sarnoff was the president of RCA. When he was younger, he was the person in the United States who who copied the ships passenger list of the Titanic as it was sinking (via morse code).
Vladamir Zworkian (I think I spelled his name right) basically developed the TV system that we know today - the iconoscope and kinescope.
