I'd love to have this Vendo snack machine.
How hard are they to restore? Does anyone know much about this one.

These are actually pretty straight forward, the key things are of course, it's got to be complete, good graphics, no major body damage/rust, this one is looking in primo original shape . at least from the pictures, it uses a mechanical coinmech, just like old cigarette machines...wish I knew his reserve, vendos aren't as popular as stoners candy machines, so finding a complete one is important, as not manyt repro parts are available....go for it! if you can score it for around $250.00

He wouldnt tell me his reserve, but I believe from his email he hopes to get 400.00.

I would hold out for a stoner if he wants 400.00

Like Terry said, for $400 bones, I'd hold out for a Stoner also. I got mine for $325 and am really pleased with it.

Yes... I agree a Stoner is a lot cooler...I'm still searching for one in my area....That's on my NEED list.

I may just wait, and keep looking.
Went to a junk/resale shop 50 miles from me and was looking in the
back of the store, where they keep furniture. anyway lifted up a tarp
and there was a jukebox still full of records. the guy wouldnt sell it.
He acquired it from a guy who wanted it stored and then needed money
to move. It's been under the tarp for almost 5 years.:(
