Title: Got 4 only wanted 1
Post by: KreKol on April 10, 2006, 11:40:11 pm
I won four machines off of E-Bay.  Out of the four I only wanted one of them.  A Vendo 110 cooler.  I have talked to the guy and the machine is missing it's shelves, door handle, condenser (I have a spare one in the garage so fixing the cooling system won't be a problem), and the glass for the bottle door.  From the pictures the body looks like it is in good shape.  Two of the machines are made by La Crosse (The blue Pepsi and the brown and white Pepsi.).  The red one looks like a Cavalier.  I have about a 360 mile round trip to pick them up.  Grand total for all four machines: $99.99.  The bad news is gas for the trip will cost me around $120.  The good news is I already have one person who will buy one of the La Crosses for $150 if I get it into good working order and I have several other people who are wanting one.  So I should end up with a Vendo 110 cooler and a small profit.  I will be picking them up the 22nd or 23rd of this month.

I am now bidding on a RC Vendorlator that is about 40 miles (and on the way) from where I am going to be picking up the other four.  If I win this one I will be loading 5 machines into the bed of my one ton pickup.  I have already done some measurements and they should all fit.  Tried to talk the wife in letting me keep this one but after I told her how big it is she said it would have to go with the other 3.  :down: Oh well, you win some and you loose some.

I got it... Let me know the length for the shelves.  I think what you have though is a 6-case and the shelves didn't have the springs.... so they may be different lengths..anyone know?
(Stupid question, I know most you guys will.. But I don't)

Yes it is a 6-case.  Sorry, The 6-case is a up right cooler and I did not think of calling it anything else but a cooler.

It has a bottle door (just not attached right now), but does not have any glass in the bottle door.  My wife has some connections with a company that does custom work with glass.  She thinks she can get it replaced cheap.  Now if Moondawg has a door handle for a 110 that would help me out.   :hopefull:

Update:  I won the Auction for the RC Machine.  Got it for $25. :D   Been talking to the guy I am getting the other four from.  He plugged in the Blue La Crosse and the Cavalier and they both cooled down.  He says when he gets a chance he will plug in the white and brown La Crosse.  I will be picking them up this Saturday.

Picked all of the machines up Saturday.  Almost a 400 mile trip, 9 hours on the road, and $130 in gas.  Not only did they fit in the bed of my truck, I had space for more.  Do to the weather this weekend I did not get to work on them much.  I power washed the two La Crosses.  The blue one cools down and has all of its shelves, but is not vending.  The white and brown one cools down, has all of its shelves, and vends.  The red Cavalier CSS-142 cools down but is missing its shelves (the guy I got the machines from is looking for them) and does not vend.  It also needs a front sign if any body has one.  The Cavalier has been shot three times (one shot goes all the way trough the back of the machine, the others are just scrapes on the front of the machine.).  The RC Vendorlator 126 cools down, has all but one shelf, and does vend.  They all have minor problems that will have to be fixed before they leave.  
The body of the Vendo 110 6 case is in good shape.  Somebody used something to cover the embossed coke cola sign on the top of the door and panted it over.  I will have to find someway to remove it.  Not only is it missing its shelves it is also missing all but four of the shelf holders.  Of course the door handle is gone but can’t tell how much of it is missing until I get the chance to remove the door.  The cooling system is none functional and will more then likely have to be scraped.  The bottle door is a little bent and of course the wood is rotten.  
I will be selling all of the machines but the Vendo 110.  I already have 6 people wanting one so making back my $225 I spent getting these machine will be real easy.  :D  I will take better pictures this weekend.
