Title: What size bottle for V44 Post by: FDNY1975 on March 12, 2007, 12:45:20 pm Sure this is an easy question does the Vendo 44 take a 6 oz bottle? Thank's
Title: What size bottle for V44 Post by: collecture on March 12, 2007, 12:52:33 pm My understanding (since I do not own a 44) is that originally the 44 only vended the 6 1/2 oz. bottles. The columns may need to be shimmed up in order to vend the 8 oz. bottles available today as they are not the same diameter.
Somebody repops a rack that will vend cans. Title: What size bottle for V44 Post by: sodaworks on March 12, 2007, 10:54:04 pm Tom's right! the new coke bottle's are a little smaller in diameter. Cut you 4 strips of 1/8" plexiglass and attach one to each sida wall of the bottle stack. This will eliminate the bottles from sliding thru the bottle gates.

Cut you four pieces that will line the four sides of the bottle stack ( two in each stack). The sizes will be the width x length of the stack. Mount the pieces so the the lexan is all the way down on the sides of the bottle rockers. This will "shim" 1/4" of thickness so that the bottles will not fall through the rockers.
