Title: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: coke_and_stuff on March 10, 2008, 04:56:08 pm First up a VMC 110 generic I dont have it in hand yet but I will have it in a couple months.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/VMC110asfound.jpg) I ended up making a deal with Joy on the board here with my restored V39 for her rough 39, a V80 and a few other odds and ends. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/sodamachineparts020.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/sodamachineparts013.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/sodamachineparts019.jpg) And by far my favorite a pair of original Mobil Gas special lenses, and a Mobilgas lense on a metal body (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/sodamachineparts029.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/sodamachineparts025.jpg) Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies!

Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: MoonDawg on March 10, 2008, 05:14:15 pm I restored a 39 last year that was rusted out just below the bottle door, just
like the one shown. Must have been a condensation problem there. But the rust in the back corner? In California I have never seen this happen. Can anybody explain how just one area can disinigrate, leaving the rest of the metal in tact? Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: loman4ec on March 10, 2008, 08:03:29 pm If it was outside part of the machine could have been under an overhang and the water ruoff could have hit the machine at just that spot.
I had a VMC88 that had bad rust in only one spot and it was at the corner of the base. I attached a pic. It was siting outside protected under a roof but the runoff water pooled right at the base of the machine and only the right front part of the base and front door rusted out.

Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: coke_and_stuff on March 10, 2008, 11:10:33 pm Joy said she recieved it from a fellow that worked for Coke, he got it home threw it on its side in a dog pen and tied his boxer up to it. Marvin im glad to see you posting give me a call when your feeling up to par!
Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: collecture on March 10, 2008, 11:44:38 pm Can anybody explain how just one area can disinigrate, leaving the rest of the metal in tact? Other than laying it on its' side and tying a pitbull up to it :tounge: If a machine is not level, condensation will accumulate at the lowest point. Most manufacturers suggested a 1" clearance from the feet to the bottom of the machine. Also, they say the main door should not move from the point you open it to - in other words, if you open it to the 90 degree point, then it should not drift closed or further open - same with the 45 degree point or the 135 degree point.

Is that Dr. Pepper green peeking out from under the Coke red on that VMC-110?? :tounge: Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: loman4ec on March 11, 2008, 01:13:12 am Good eye Greg. Joey that was probably an original Dr Pepper 110! Now you just need the signs. I honestly like the 110's. They are bigger than the 81's but they still are not too big. What are you going to do with that 110 Joey? That would make a great theme machine!
Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: coke_and_stuff on March 11, 2008, 01:59:31 am The 110 is a real deal original Dr Pepper and will be painted that cool mint green with a porcelain sign fixed to the front like original.
Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: loman4ec on March 11, 2008, 03:16:08 am What a find!! :jawdrop: Congrats Joey. Where did you find the machine?
Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: bubba on March 11, 2008, 06:31:50 am Nice stuff Joey...
Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: coke_and_stuff on March 11, 2008, 10:43:14 am off of Craigslist. Thanks guys!
Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: MoonDawg on March 11, 2008, 10:58:15 am Thanks for sharing Joey, that's what makes this site fun :biggrin:
I missed the Dr. Pepper green earlier. Also, the stainless for the front of the Vendo 80 is actually aluminum and is still available in sheets of 24" X 24". Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: Eric on March 11, 2008, 02:34:54 pm Leave it to Joey! That boy can hunt!....
Wanna see the 72 full shot and how's my ol' 81 look'n?..... What all you have in your collection now?.... Sweet finds as usual! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: coke_and_stuff on March 11, 2008, 03:04:44 pm 81 is still in the bodyshop, Its been 19 going on 20 months. I have a feeling a lawyer is going to have to be involved before its all said and done. I'll post some pics of the 39 and 72 in the next day or two.
Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week some goodies! Post by: GreginNM on March 11, 2008, 11:48:38 pm Glad to hear you will be bringing the Dr. Pepper back to the 110! I can't wait to see it done, especially after drooling over the pictures of Tom's Dr. Pepper 110. Now I really have to find one! You are in a great location, Joey! I always found awesome stuff during my extended stays in Arkansas for C-130 training through the years.
