Title: Newbie needs coke machine model i.d.
Post by: on December 12, 2005, 08:01:09 pm
Hello all,

New to this forum, i inhereited a vendorlator coke machine that apparently sits on top of an empty carton cabinet that i do not have.

The machine is 10 cents factory marked, uses 6 oz bottles and has the rounded top.

1 chute and 1 paddle handle, all original and in decent shape.

any idea of the model number, where i can get the bottom cabinet and what the avg. value , as is.


thanks

If you look on the home page, there is a link for soda machines. Look under vendorlator, and it will show a pic of each machine with a description and other info on most machines. I'm a newbie as well, and the people here will have you hooked in no time. I started out with one machine when I found this site a week or 2 ago, and I now have 3 :D...

Welcome Coastout,
Without a picture (hint hint), and based on your description, sounds like you have a Vendolator 27 (the 27 refers to the number of the bottles it holds).
According to the Jeff Walters Guide, $1200 in average condition, although he claims subtract $300 w/out the stand

You have a nice machine. I've sen the stands on Ebay now and then, not sure if some one repro's them
Stick around, check out the vendors here, and don't worry, it's doubtful this will be your last machine :)

Thanks, you both are right it is a 27.
I looked at the site pics before posting, but couldn't tell if those were 2 part machines from the photos.

thanks again, Bob
