Title: Parts and id vf63-7
Post by: PepsiVF63-7 on April 29, 2005, 12:11:07 pm
Hello, I recently purchased an old Pepsi machine by Vendo.  The plate on the side says model #VF63-7, I guess this means it is a V-63?  There seems to be confusion whether this is a V-56 or V-90.  Also confusion on if it was converted to cans later.  Anyway, I'd like to get parts for it to bring it back to running condition, and I'd better have the right model number.  I don't want new parts, way too expensive and too clean.  I want an old looking machine that works.  I have pictures for you.  I need a 3-screw hole bottle opener, a bottle cap catcher, a new rectangular lock and key, 25 cent stickers, and flavor stickers.

Also I would like a manual in .PDF, I downloaded the Coinco mech instructions in .PDF and have found that re-prints of the manuals are $25!  Ouch.

Thanks for any help in advance.

First off, Welcome Aboard Bill!! Great to have you around. Sounds to me that you have come upon a Vendorlator 63. (VF is the designation for Vendorlator) This means that is was originally configured to vend 63 bottles.

We'd love to see pictures of it and that would also make things a bit easier to identify. The .25 cent stickers/locks are best bought new and aren't that expensive. They can be bought from The Soda Jerk Works whose bright yellow banner appears at the top right of your screen.

As for the bottle opener, I have one that I can give you, PM me with you address and I'll send it your way. Seems like somebody else here would be able to scare up a cap catcher. Also, you should check out the "Swap Meet" area on the Discussion Areas portion of this site. It's always a great source to see what's out there! Again, welcome Bill and don't strain your back shoveling that driveway! :D

Looks like it vends cans after all. Does it have all 7 shelves?

Also looks like it says "Vendo" in the bottom right corner, right?
