Title: RC Cola Machine
Post by: davet426 on November 05, 2006, 04:33:04 pm
So I just bought this off E-bay. These are the only pics. It said it was a '60's machine. Any idea on make and model? Worth any thing if restored? I think this will be my first shot at a full restore.

Thanks

Nice "little" machine.  Looks like a Vendorlator VF 154F.  Large machines like this do not sell as well and for as much as the ones that are half this size.  On the plus side, it is an RC so it is a little bit different.  Is it worth restoring?  If you plan to resell it, probably not.  If you want to use it and admire it, then sure.

Thanks. I always learn the hard way, think I'll still fix her up the though. I liked the fact that it was RC.

Thats pretty neat.. I have a 56 Rc cola machine, and my sign is all red, except for the "enjoy" is blue...  Doc hit it right... the bigger machines just aren't as desired...  It is still a neat machine..

With a little elbow grease you can probably clean it up pretty well without having to spend much money on it.  Sticker and pop residue on the front, dirt on the side...make sure you upost pics of it!  :happydrinkers:
