Title: Can anyone ID this Machine
Post by: choice120 on March 30, 2009, 01:17:11 pm
I have a chance to get this one for 300 or BO. Any ideas? I guess Westinghouse. What should I pay.

Whatever it is I bet it weighs about 650 lbs.  Looks nice, but boxy and heavy.

        It's a Vendolator 231 and weighs 540lbs, (so Larry was close)

        Jeff's book list's it as being very rare, but that doesn't mean it's really
desireable among collectors or the general public. Proceed with caution!

Cool looking machine but unless you have a truck load of buddies that owe you a big favor, run away fast!! Very heavy and hard to move around.

Yep and you need a huge space to put it in. If you like it and you want it for yourself then you should go for it. If you are trying to turn it and make a profit or if you think you will ever sell it and want to make money them you should run away.
