Title: Thanks for adding me, new owner Vendorlator VF-154 Post by: brickwhite on May 09, 2018, 09:35:58 am Thanks for adding me, new owner Vendorlator VF-154 in Southern Missouri.
Picked up this Pepsi Vendo/Vendorlator VF-154BA locally. Working on Cleaning it up and getting it working for my garage. I know the Big Square tops are not that popular for resale but it was pretty clean and the refrigeration worked. I somewhat remember these around when I was a Kid. I can't say I've ever seen a Round top any where except at some 50's nostalgia shop. All the shelves are there and the cooling works, missing coin acceptor and door liner. Someone ripped open the inner door to get the coins... Anyone Parting a Vendo-14 need a door liner?

I remember this model well from a few stores I frequented. I'd love to find one that someone didn't want $500 for. My wife would disagree that I need another one. Then again, when I hobby I go full hobby... :laugh:
What are the rough dimensions of the inner skin? Title: Re: Thanks for adding me, new owner Vendorlator VF-154 Post by: brickwhite on May 11, 2018, 11:10:57 am The door liner is about 31" wide and about 64.5" tall. I think I'll just cut some FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) and insulation from Lowes and try that.
I had to do some surgery on the inner door. Someone along the line cut into the door to get the coin changer....little hammer, little bending... little cussing.. .. pulled out the Mig to test out my welding.... been a while.. helps if you turn on the gas...
