My dad has a Vendorlator 23 and wants to know what it is worth. The machine is in Schenectady New York. I have attached a picture.

       The machine in the picture is a Vendolator 56.

Opps!
The information on the side said the following:
VT23 Refrigeration Unit         
Model   VF56D-SA

so I thought that meant it was a 23 but I see it does say model is 56. Thanks for letting me know.

We still wish to know what it could sell for.

Pats right... more photos please...
On average though you can probabl expect value of around 75-200 bucks... it all depends on all the factors Pat pointed out.

I have a couple more pictures with me (attached) but need to get more of the inside and back and larger views (I compacted my pictures to get them to send so maybe they are not clear enough to see the correct detail).   I was told it does get cold. There is a coin slot for either 5 or 10 cents but I do not know if it works.
How do you test the coin mechanism? Do we need to put some kind of bottle in it? Do you know what kind of bottle currently fits? Certain beers?
I will need to ask my brother to go over to where it is and test it out and get more pictures.
Thanks for your help so far.

These machines will take 8 to 12 ounce glass-bottles , this machine will vend only glass bottles, no plastic bottles, no cans.  to test the coinmech, you'll have to plug in the machine & drop some coins into the top of it ( with the access-door open) if it accepts them, you should hear a noticable "clunk" when the vending mechanism triggers, then you should be able to take your fingers & pull out on any of the bottle-openings little roller/levers at the top of the openings & be able to pull it forward & outward ( as if the bottle was being pulled from the port) once you release it, it should lock back into the down position & prevent another "bottle" from being pulled out ( form any bottle postion/port)  hope it helps!
