Title: Pepsi vendorlator worth it?
Post by: on August 22, 2002, 10:39:35 pm
Hello
I have a couple of questions for anybody. I have a chance to buy an OK condition Vendorlator 88 Pepsi machine. When I say it is in OK shape that is about a 6 or 7 on a 1 to 10 scale it has a few dents and the paints shot. He says it runs but I would restore it with a more efficient compressor any way. He wants $400 for it. Good deal? Bad Deal? Is there any thing I should look at or look out for. If I restore it ($correctly$) will it have any major value as others do? Not that I would sell it though. Thanks for any input.

Just placing this topic in the appropriate Discussion Area...
If he only wants $400 and it's complete, BUY IT! Especially if you like this model. In some cases, you can't put a price tag on something that you really like, well, within reason I mean.
I always say that anytime you find a decent machine from the 50's that's priced under $500, you have to consider the purchase! The only machines to be wary of are the larger models from various manufacturers.
