Title: Ebay Vendo 44 close to me
Post by: Malinut on April 23, 2007, 12:07:18 am
This Vendo 44 on Ebay is pretty close to me (#220105426908)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vendo-4....iewItem

Im thinking seriously about getting it.  It is missing several parts.  I know the rack is being reproed and is expensive.  What about the coin door?  I would imagine they would be hard to find.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The coin door and coin mech are reproed. The mechs are $375 I think and they only take dimes. They don't look origional but they are functional. I have heard that the coin doors are great. I have never seen one in person though

You might as well get and store it until parts come up for it on ebay.  :D

That compressor is small and hard to replace. By the time you
found all the parts that are needed..........you could have bought
an entire machine.  This is simply a shell and could only be usefull
if restoring a machine with rust or body damage.
