I found this one locally. Seller wanted 200 so I had to pass. its very brown
I also came across a 72 year old collector who worked for coke since the late 40's. He had a 900-1000 sq foot garage full of classic machines. Some in bad shape, some ( round tops) never used and looked new ( yes I said round tops that were never used). There were 6 chest coolers with the circle door on top, I think they were vendo's, perfect shape. He had a 40's westington house that was as tall as a vendo 39 in perfect shape. I plan to visit him again in a few weeks and I am bringing my camera to show you all. It was awesome

I had one of those brown 64's. Arent they ugly. It was cavaliers version of the vendo decorator. The brown fit in in offices better than red and white.
A barn full of machines. Wow what a find.
