Title: DP Vendo 23 on Ebay?? Post by: davethebirdman on June 02, 2008, 02:54:49 pm http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-DR-PEPPER-VENDO-23_W0QQitemZ180249381736QQihZ008QQcategoryZ13734QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I thought vendo only made for Coke... The seller even states it has a larger drum to accomadate the larger bottles... Myth or truth??? Dave Title: Re: DP Vendo 23 on Ebay?? Post by: GreginNM on June 02, 2008, 03:54:09 pm I saw that one last night and was highly intrigued!! Even if it's fantasy, what a great idea to do for a unique machine for the collection. I am, however, curious if these were really made. It's definitely located (TX) where they would be if they were made.

I can't see how you could do that! There is a shelf that the drum assembly rests on which would have to be lowered interfereing with the storage door and/or the coils. Seller states they had it repainted 10 years ago. My guess is that it was originally Coke and they had it repainted it in DP. Notice that there is no disk liner - DP bottles are about 1/4" taller than Coke bottles (at least the original bottles) and I bet they had to leave the disc liner off to accommodate for the increased bottle height.

Title: Re: DP Vendo 23 on Ebay?? Post by: collecture on June 02, 2008, 04:31:12 pm OK - sorry didn't look that far!
That's all that's been done to it - it is not deeper as stated. Title: Re: DP Vendo 23 on Ebay??

Hmmmm, amazing what you can do with words! I still like it...

Post by: Kilroy on June 02, 2008, 04:59:28 pm Vendo in the 1940's ands 50's was exclusively Coca Cola, and while it is a a different twist that does rate on my cool factor scale, i can't tell if the seller is intentionally misleading the machine as an original, or was purchased it as is, and was told it it came from the factory this way
Title: Re: DP Vendo 23 on Ebay?? Post by: 90grad on June 03, 2008, 07:12:37 pm My guess is he bought it this way from some one who had it redone in the DP scheme. Or, it could be one of those machines where another brand "hijacked" the machine and painted it to their colors. This is similar to those Cavalier 51s with the Pepsi signs screwed over the Coke embossing.

Title: Re: DP Vendo 23 on Ebay?? Post by: brasskey on May 21, 2012, 11:32:43 pm Just came across this old post while looking at V-23 machines. Never saw the machine in this post, but this may be the same machine for sale again as it's out of TX.
