It is a Vendoraltor 242. What a huge machine. 67 high, 32 wide, 33 deep. I bet it weighs a ton. The thing pre cools more than most machines vend. The book says it precools 88 bottles.

I'm local & if you want it, I can pick it up & store it in my new garage! (until you can figure out how to ship it...or use my Fedexfreight account's 45% discount on freight collect)

I had one of these years ago. I had to get it down my basement stairs (and then out again when I sold it). This machine is a BEHEMOTH!!! I'd invest in some sort of anti-hernia apparatus if I were you

That's the kind i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Life is too short to recover from hauling that thing around!

Definitely. Don't want it, just thought it was "different".

Did this monster have drawers that pull out for the pre-cool?
If so, I think this is the machine featured in a DVD I bought at the World of Coca Cola last week in Atlanta. It is a little safety video about putting the empty bottles back.

Jeff,
It had two precool drawers on each side of the chute. I believe they were made out of wood and possibly lined with aluminum. My manual says "Aluminum is used extensively throughout the machine wherever moisture is a factor. Heavy guage steel is used where added strength and protection is needed".

Maybe you should get it since you are getting rid of a few of your other ones!

And besides, it looks like you could store a squaretop or two in it
