Post by: choice120 on January 25, 2009, 12:08:09 pm

It's the ugly duckling syndrome when it is restored

machine  :smile:

I bought one several years ago for $100 and turned it into a bud machine.  Planned on selling it but liked it so much I kept it.

Thanks- it was quite beat up and would have been difficult to restore to original anyway.

My very first machine was a monster-sized Vendorlator 117.....I ended up not going forward with the restoration due to the material condition of the body. I do still have some parts left over though if anybody is interested. They will fit the Vendorlator 56,90 & 117. The nicest part I have is the coin entry bezel and coin return lever which I had chrome plated. Maybe these could help somebody.
