Title: Just Won this one
Post by: 90grad on July 30, 2007, 07:19:22 pm
Hey all,

I just won this today off eBay.  I wasn't really in the market for it, but for $99, why not?  I may try to re-sell if I can figure out why it doesn't vend.  It's only about 30 miles from me.

Anyone have a manual for it?

Westinghouse WB-102

Well, at $99 you really can't lose.  It looks like it got relatively easy wear and the inside looks in good shape, so it may be an easy fix.

Can't beat the price, nice machine.  Just take it easy moving it, looks like she weighs a ton.

All,

I got this one home last night and it looks nice.  There are few scratches and dents, but nothing major.  I will wait until tonight to plug it in, as I had it on its back for the trip home (1 hour). 

This thing is HEAVY!!!!!  But, it looks quite nice.  The question I have for the group is does anyone have a manual?  I recall some one buying a mother load of manuals a year or so ago. 

This model is a Westighouse WB-102-B4.

I saw that and wished that it was closer to me because I would have bid on it to replace mine (first machine I got when I was in high school, but has seen better days).  I have never been able to find a manual for it.  It is very similar to the select-o-matic.  The only difference that I remember is what makes the selection.  You might just get a "Westinghouse WC-78MD and WC-102MD service Manual" from Fun-Tronics since they are so similar.

Brent,

www.sodamachinemanuals.com (part of the Soda Museum) sells a manual for it.  I ordered one.

Do you know if the machine will take cans?

Yea, there is a depth adjuster in the back of each selection.  So you could vend bottles and cans in the same machine.
Thanks for the manual link.  I've never heard of them before.
