RJ, what kind of shape is it in i.e. is it dented, rusty, any rust thru anywhere? does it have a complete coin mechanism and does it cool? Also i am assuming thru your description it is a round top machine with the coca-cola logo embossed on the front. thanks troy

The machine has NO RUST INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. It has a few minor scraches & dings. But it does have some small holrs drilled into it, on the door & next to it. where someone had a latch & padellock on it to keep the door from being opened {when I got it the coin mec. was out of it so you didn't need to pay for the pop }   The coin mec. is complete { it takes a dime or 2 nickels to operate. The cooler works great !!! {if I set it to setting #7 it will freeze the bottles } I can use the plastic .5 liter {16.9 fl oz. } bottles...  A 6 pack of these bottles sell for the same as the 8 oz. glass bottles & have over twice the coke in them.  It is the round top, red white  model with the embossed COKE  logo. I'm sending a attachment photo... I hope this will help THANKS FOR YOUR HELP :D

RJ, thanks for the photo. If it were my machine and i were to sell it i would ask no less than 1500.00 in it's working and unrestored shape, but keep in mind it also is whatever the market will bear.  As a collecter of soda machines every collector would love to buy machines very cheap but those buys are few and far between. The vendo 56 is a nice machine because it's size, the fact that it vends 12 ounce beer bottles and sodas too, in addition to the fact you can have a variety of flavors.  i don' think it is as hot as a vendo 81, but it certainly is a close second in my book. Nice machine! troy
