Title: Vintage vendorlator coke machine
Post by: on December 29, 2005, 07:59:01 pm
I would like an idea of a selling price for this machine:
General description:
Vendorlator Model 27, Vendorlator Mfg. Co., Fresno, CA
Serial #2617
Unpainted metal is corroded, but probably just needs a good cleaning.
Red painted area at upper left has a shallow dent
It was in working order when used in my son's Record Store in the early 80s. I have not tried, but believe it would still run. There is no key. A corner of the rear plate has been tampered with and has been loosened. Pictures are available.
My thanks to anyone who can help. I am getting my house ready for sale and am downsizing.

Welcome Martha!
According to Jeff Walter's Machine guide, a Vendolator 27 in average condition is pegged at $1200.00 for 'average' condition (average, according to Jeff, all major parts intact, little or no rust, and no 'major dents'. Subtract $900 if the stand is missing.
Depending on the condition, and buyer, your actual milage may vary

Welcome to the board marthab! Very hard to give a value without seeing some pictures. You can use "Add Reply" and then use the browse button at the bottom of the screen to attach 2 pictures. Let us know if you have any questions.

Relax Martha. He meant to say deduct $300.00 without the stand.
