Well Tom, I could not stop myself from bidding on this one. Seller said it was missing key, was not sure if it was complete, thought it gave 2dimes and nickle for quarter.
Yes he was correct. After 2hrs of drilling out the lock I was very happy!!
Complete and works great when loaded.

Congrats Victor,
How much did this one cost?
I have not forgotten that I still need to get the manual to you.
And I still need a bezel, so we are even.

We sure are, and I am also sorry for the delay.
I paid about 45.00 plus shipping. Alot less than the first one I bought.

Not a problem on this end...I got too much going on, but I promise I'll get it too you. I never forget..
It is not like we don't know how they work.
Different paint/decal scheme on this one.
That's better than my price (by 5-10 bucks) depending on your S&H cost.

Great score Victor. The slug rejector's worth more than that.

Thanks Hombres!
I paid about 45.00 for the changer and , because it is heavy, shipping ran me another 40.00. Not bad since I paid almost 60 to 75 more for my other one.
Dave these are nice little changers. ALOT LESS expensive than the vendo changers.
I plan on oneday restoring them both.

Same here!
I think I'm going to do mine in DP green with the same decals it has now on the front (see pic)
and a Dr. Pepper hand/bottle decal on each side with the "CHANGE" decal below it.
I think it would look great on the wall next to my DP VMC110.
I just looked and I think I still got you beat in price!
My seller was more reasonable about the shipping and total for me was $77.07

I take it then that very few pre-60s machines accepted quarters ? (if any)

Some of the large door machines (ie. V56, V81D and others) accepted quarters and gave change for them
; however, I'm pretty sure the price of a Coke did not surpass a dime until the 60's.

Yes you do have me beat.
I like your plan for the changer, not sure what colors I will paint them.
