HI I'm new I just started collecting Soda machines this week!
I have a machine but I don't know much about it ? I'd like to know the Model number, does anybody know?
Also can I get a user manual for it?
Many thanks

Welcome!
Looks like a Square top VMC 56. 1960's Pepsi machine.
Nice machine to start with.

Great shape VMC56. Most of those machines have cracked or missing button on top and the stainless looking front is usually beat up pretty bad.
Welcome.

Thanks guys, it was the condition that prompted me to buy it even though I know nothing about soda machines (yet!)

Nice looking machine. These 56's are a good size and usually the pepsi sign is always in bad condition. Looks like for a first machine you found is a winner.
Does it work properly, I have some manuals for some of these I will ck and see if I have one for the 56, If I have duplicates you can have it for shipping or a copy if I only have one. I will let you know in a PM>

Hello & welcome to the site, I think the full model no. should be VF56, looks very clean, Nice! like the others said, hard to find one of these in straight shape, AND with an undamaged medalion too! congrats on a nice find, it's from the late fifity's , and as indicated by the yellow paint on the vending gate area, this is a dedicated Pepsi machine. ( not a repainted coke ) there was a lightup sign option for this model which is very hard to find, & some even had a small light to iluminate the bottle portal area, these are nice ( but heavy!) little machines!
I've had three in my barn at one point or another. & one is still in service at a friends house 8-years later..Again welcome!

Thanks for the info Johnie! I'd love to see a photo of your friends and find out more about the bottle potal light.
I wonder if it is something I could add with possible NOS parts?
