Title: Help!
Post by: Gary Kramer on September 20, 2005, 02:44:45 pm
Please help me ID a machine I bought over thirty five years ago.

I plan to sell it but cannot identify it.  After I bought it, I played with it for awhile then unpluged it and have not used it since.  It worked fine at that time.  It has a lot of cobwebs in there and I am going to clean it out and plug it in.

After veiwing this site, I thought I had what appears to be a Vendorlator 27B/Dual27 because my machine looks exactly like that model and has the same dimensions Hight, depth, width EVEN THOUGH the little metal tag on my machine reads model # 27-A.

Mine has more decals on its sides and front but that's the only difference.

Inside it has a circular wheel that holds only 13 bottles not counting the space on top of the wheel where the bottle spits out of after you put the dime in it and the wheel turns.

According to the specs on this web site it should hold 27 bottles????????

The earlier model 27 [ no A ] capacity is 10 bottles.  

It appears that I have a unique machine that doesn't exist or that it is just another model.???  Maybe the Vedorlator 13?????

I have posted a  picture of my machine...   I think?  I'm not too good with computors.

Hope to hear from ya soon.

Hello Gary,
  The bottles are double stacked in the drum (two per section). The drum will hold 27 bottles, this is why it is referred to as a model 27. I can still pick up 27's for 300.00 to 600.00 depending on condition. I hope this helps you out.  :)
