Title: Bar and wheels for my machine
Post by: kahonwes on August 08, 2006, 10:31:08 pm
Yes people I just won an ebay auction for a bar and wheels for my Vendo 44.  Its going to be so useful in my house to roll the sucker around.  Was wondering does it make my machine worth more?

k - I'm addicted

I was going to bid also, but I think these are reproduced as well? Not sure wheter the value will go up on the machine, if so, not much. Some people think they take away the "curves" of the machine even though its in the rear of the machine. Does make it MUCH easier to move around.

I think and my memory isnt that good late at night, the auction said they were original, but then again there are new ones on the Wurlitzer machines so who knows.  All I know is, like you said alot easier to move, and thats all I really wanted them for.  but its funny how auctions go up over $100 in the last 40 seconds lol

k - ebay grrrr

I like the handle and wheel kits! I have one for my V39 (original - thanks Joey!)) and my VMC 27A (original). My WD-5 is on casters (original) and so is my V23 (not original). I'd have them on all my machines if I could find originals, but I don't think they were offered on all models.

K,

Can you post the link to the ended auction or perhaps a few detailed photos (close-up of the wheels)...?

When I get it in the mail I'll post some photos, I'm going to see if I can replicate the wheels for the fun of it..  Seems easy enough...
