Title: V-81 bottle rack converted to v-56
Post by: Creighton on June 05, 2002, 05:21:46 am

Hello,

Need a complete bottle rack/stack for a Vendo-56 (RT). A seller of a V-81 stack states "Will also fit Vendo 56 by shortening it (cutting off top)."

Questions arise:

1) Is this possible and has anybody tried this?

2) Hate to trash a V-81 assembly. Not having any luck finding an original V-56 stack. So I'm looking at other options. Idea's anybody?

Thanks!
Creighton

Sorry to say It'd probably wouldn't work, the alignment holes won't line up with the pins in the rear of the cabinet (the rack would sit too high.) and you'd bugger up the top and loose the oval hole.

take a closer look at the picture.

Suspected as much. Hoped a machine shop could section out the top two and weld the top oval section back on.

Can't tell from any drawings or photos I have how this would impact the gate lever and captive link system.

Thanks,
