Title: HA56A2 Coke machine Post by: oscar on December 01, 2008, 07:29:03 pm Is this machine a Vendo? Is it a round top or is it square top?
Kevin Title: Re: HA56A2 Coke machine Post by: Kilroy on December 01, 2008, 07:43:04 pm It's a square top Vendo, 1960's. You see al ot of then in the woodgrain vinyl.
If I had the room and monry i'd be grabbing these left and right and sitting on them for 5 -10 yrs . As the roundtops get out the reasonable price ranges for the someone looking for a machine for the family room, their popularity will increase. Just my opinion I also believe the Bee Gees were behind Nixon's resignation, so my opinion may not have a lot of weight Title: Re: HA56A2 Coke machine Post by: Creighton on December 01, 2008, 09:43:47 pm Agree with Kilroy,
Except I thought ABBA did in ole Tricky D :-) Of the ST's I've had the Vendo 56 is the worse constructed. Thin steel, poor fit and finish etc.. The Cavs, Selectivend and even VMC are much better. Bunch more ST 63's than 56's = more parts available. It's all in what You like though. I'm fond of the early "can puncher" machines.

I've since run out of room, and have started weeding down the stash a bit... The USS-64 is even better as it can do cans and bottles..

but I'll be honest I would rather have a Cav CSS64 any day, I think it's a better built machine and more solid. Title: Re: HA56A2 Coke machine Post by: coke_and_stuff on December 01, 2008, 11:24:12 pm whether it be a 56 roundtop or a 56 squaretop they are both crap when it comes to the material they used for the bodies. They are prone to dents, dings, rust, rot, and falling apart. Ive had 7-8 56 roundtops all were rough, I know where a nice original sits been inside all its life and it still has beltline rust. I dont know why they rust so bad but they do???
