Title: Need some dimensions
Post by: 90grad on May 13, 2005, 03:59:57 pm
All,

I figured some one with a 23, C-51, or machine of the like could assist in this.  What are the dimensions (depth and diameter) of the bottle holders?  This way, I thought I could see what other things might fit before I go after a C-51 near me.

Thanks

I assume that you mean the "ammo-belt" that holds the soda bottles inside the machine for vending on the Cavalier C51, it will only hold the diameter & length of old refillable 6.5oz coke & the newer 8oz. glass coke/diet-coke/sprite/dr.pepper bottles, as it is limited by the depth of the interior cabinet, use them as your guide..10oz.& 12oz. bottles wont fit, (Faygo did make some retro 8oz./237ml size glass bottles last year which fit nicely,)  :drinking:

Yeah, I mean the ammo belt machine, as well as the Vendo 23.  The problem is I don't have either one, although Loman is sending me a 23.  There is a Cavalier 51 near me that goes off tomorrow.  However, I may not bid if I am limited on the bottle size.  I know only the 8oz soda bottles fit.  But, for example, the Yoo-Hoo bottles (and maybe some water) may fit, as the tolerance on the tubes may allow it.  If some one could take a tape measure and give me the inside dimension of the tube, that would be cool.

The smaller Yoo-Hoo bottles do fit in the Vendo 23, so they will probably fit in some others.
