Title: Vendolator VF90B-B - NEED HELP/HAVE QUESTION
Post by: SRock on March 03, 2008, 02:40:38 pm
I don't have any experience with vending machines, but want a machine that I can use for home purposes to dispense long neck beer & soda bottles.

I have located a nice looking Vendolator VF90B-B (Pepsi).   I took a look at the machine but couldn't figure out if it would dispense long neck bottles or not.

Does anyone have any recommendations on figuring out what it will dispense or do you have an alternative for a machine that is similar and not very expensive?  I'm in Colorado, near Denver.

Thanks for the help!!

Sean

Hi Sean,
Welcome to the board!
I have never owned a VF90, but I believe it is a slant shelf machine if I am not mistaken.
If it is a slant shelf machine, then it should vend long necks, small Coke bottles, water bottles, etc.
It is only restricted by the diameter of the hole on the bottle stack faceplate.
Hope this helps!  :drinking:

It will vend long neck bottles with no problem.

I agree with Josh. The bottle mechs. were the same (except for amount vended) between all of the VF series. I had a VF-117 and it would accept the bigger bottles.

I have to agree too, long necks work well in my Vendo machines, all it needs is the shelves adjusted.

Ive got one that need to be restored and just to agree with every one
yes to the long necks and orange crush  thin water bottles
It looks like it will be a fun machine to restore.

The only bottle I've had trouble with on my bottle machines are Fosters. They are just a bit too big for the hole. I've pulled 16oz water bottles through as well as most other beer and soda bottles.

Some root beer bottles stick a little too because of there size in my Vendo 63 but they will pull out, but for some reason I can't seem to think of the brand name off hand. :darn:

I have Fosters long necks in my 81A right now...is the depth of the V90 any different?
