I bought these from a friend this week. One is a vendo 83 in good shape except missing coin bezel and the other is one I have never seen a westinghouse WB66 six select with six different vending handles.

Congrats on the purchase!
The WD-66 is very unique; unusual seeing six crank handles!

Thanks Pat, I will. I opened it up it actually came with the key but by the time I got around to taking more pictures it was getting dark. I will get some more pictures of the inside. The top drink coca cola sign is like a cube that slides into the opening very unusual...

I would have to check the manual to see if this model can dispense bottles and/or cans. It might need slight modifications to do so... I check back tomorrow and let you know; unless, someone else has experience with this model and has done it.

Hey GB! Nice scores!... Did you go to that auction?... Was wondering how it went. Bet Randy would have a coin bezel for that! Way to go!

As a matter of fact he probably does, he has parted out dozens of 83s over the years.

It dang sure is not a 90 degree corner and for a guy that has always had square tops and sliders, this is a roundtop.
Eric I did go to the auction. We had a great time and saw a lot of really great items. I bought some but not a lot it was pretty expensive. I hate to tell you but about half way up there we realized that we did not bring the camera and I thought I will buy a disposable but we were in a very rural area as you are aware so no pictures.
I was surprised at some of the prices signs went for 200-1100 hundred. Bottles went for 75 to 1100 hundred. There were six pink pepsi swirl bottles that brought 2,000 + each. Double Bubbles went for 500 to 800 hundred and thermometers went for 100 to 700. The one coke item was met with a round of boo's. It was really great to see all of the collection and I apologize for not taking a camera. The machines went very reasonable the gull wing brought 850.00 and the others ranged from 350 to 110.
