OH !!! Sorry about the photo.
 Question for you Josh, Were there little clips on the back
 of the shelve's with a screw to hold that shelve in place ?
 I will get a photo tomorrow if need be.

If you could please post a pic. I have never seen a screw holding a shelf down or even a clip holding a vendo shelf down. Cavalier used clips in theyr sqaure top machines but I have never seen one in a Vendo.

Great find.  Good luck with the restoration if you decide to do it.

That would make it a little bit of a hassle to adjust the shelf for a different size bottle. My manual says (for the Vendo 154 only) that there bottle neck adjustments slides, but they appear to be on the front of the shelf.

Pat,
Congrats!
I just bought one just like that yesterday and picked it up today. You and I are twins! But you got the better price. I paid $200 more for mine.
A great little machine. Enjoy!

It's complete and functional...
In either event, that's a great price!
Congrats on being patient too!

Man I'm jealous. I need to get out and find one.

My day job is keeping me too busy.
The closer it get to wedding season the busier I get.
Plus making easter basket bouquets is cutting into my
soda machine time.

Pat taught us a lesson. Just because someone is asking an outrageous price for a machine.....doen't mean anyone is going to pay it.   Just leave a phone # and let them come back around.
        Good job Pat......and Kito
