Title: added to the collection
Post by: choice120 on January 18, 2009, 05:35:50 pm
Got another v-56 squaretop for $25.00over the weekend. Looks like its been an indoor machine. No rust inside and refrig unit is in great shape. Wish it was bottle but for $25.00 couldnt passm it up. Only needs main door handle and coin door lock assembly but she is pretty straight.  Pics to follow.

They are harder to find than bottle, I sold two last year for $125.00 each. Bottle stacks can be had for $50-75.00. Ive never had any can shelves, but ive had alot of bottle shelves over the years.

         The 56 was manufactured with a bottle stack but when cans became popular
some machines were retrofitted with a can stack to keep the machine from becoming
obsolete.
         Now that these machines are popular in homes, many people prefer to vend cans because they cost 1/3 the price of the bottle and cans are so much easier to find.

Always good to have a 56 can stack. It was 4 screws to swap a can stack into my RT-V56. Makes it a usable machine. Would only take 10 minutes to put the orginal bottle stack back in.

Can shelves would be easy to have made.

Aren't the 56 and 63 can stacks the same.. its just the shelves that are a bit different I think. I've got a few can stacks with shelves if anyone is looking. I'd be willing to trade for a bottle stack and shelves...

I would be willing to trade my 63 can stack and shelves for a bottle stack and shelves also.

56 and 63 stacks are the same, V56 shelves fit both roundtop and squaretop machines, V63 shelves fit V81 V90 etc. I had one Vendorlator 56 that actually had the V63 V81 style shelves in it. They were in stock form and had no modifications done to them. I havent seen another like it.
