Title: FerroMatic FCV-128
Post by: johnieG on January 19, 2007, 08:38:24 pm
Well I finally manage to wrestle this Vernors Can Vendor out into the open for some detailed pictures, It's called the Ferromatic Can vendor model FCV-128.

It's a 4 selection machine as shown, which has a neat looking can delivery handles that you have to pull up in order to get your selection out, (this type of delivery door/mechanism is very simular to the late model Siemens 3 selection can vendor that you see around on ebay lately) looks a bit like a file cabinet, but it's kinda a cool looking machine, the delivery port area has a light to illuminate the tray below the slection handles, and as you can see, an empty flag for each selection, it has a stamped steel serpentine belt system to stack the cans, & it used to have a can opener, but as the decal says on the front, with the "new" pull-tab steel cans, it was deleted & a blank plate install in its place.

Jim feel free to place it in the Soda machines section because it's mine now! ( I have this habit of picking up these stray mutts) I have some hi-res pictures & the dementions & weight too... I'll forward it along to you....JohnieG

Quite different than you usual square-top...
Johnie, can you take one photo from the front but slightly off to one side so the side can be seen as well...? Keep the whole machine in the photo too.
Thanks ! ! !

Did the square panel with the Vernor's can have a can opener at one time...?

Will do Jim!   & yes, it had a can opener, you can see the wires for the heated/sanatized opener "points"
hanging down in the picture of the inner coindoor.

What are the machine's dimensions?
It looks much smaller than a V56.
