Title: Re: Vendo 242 Post by: Ken R on September 27, 2019, 07:12:17 pm Sorry...guess is actually Vendolator or VMC 242.

Title: Re: Vendo 242 Post by: Ken R on September 28, 2019, 03:43:31 pm It's definitely a heavy beast. Still in pretty decent shape. Guess not so collectible cuz of weight tho.
Title: Re: Vendo 242 Post by: johnieG on September 28, 2019, 04:51:22 pm And what is your question besides that of the stated girth & weight of the beast? :smile:
Title: Re: Vendo 242 Post by: Ken R on September 28, 2019, 09:54:28 pm Wasnt sure how collectible they were. I picked one up along with a mills 45 in a group purchase. They seem to be the oldest out of the bunch. Both appear to be complete.

Title: Re: Vendo 242 Post by: MoonDawg on September 29, 2019, 11:06:09 am I remember getting a request from a store owner once, looking for just an antique Coke machine shell.
He wanted to mount his ATM machine in it. :biggrin: Title: Re: Vendo 242 Post by: Ken R on September 29, 2019, 05:21:13 pm Atm huh? That's an interesting idea
