Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: vendo39 on April 15, 2009, 02:25:43 pm I've always thought those were cool although I'm pretty sure I don't want to ever own one. I just don't like milk that much! :smile:
Hey wait! Can that thing be set up to vend beer? :drinking: Somehow the thought of that just seems very wrong! :down: Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: Kilroy on April 15, 2009, 03:40:05 pm It would be hard to find beer in the paper pint cartons that would fit in the machine .. :biggrin:

Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: SIGNGUY on April 16, 2009, 09:25:04 am There was one for sale at the Chicago Show early in the AM... guy wanted alot of it , I thought... missing the sign on top...
Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: memorylane on April 16, 2009, 09:34:16 am This one is in great shape and complete I got it for $1650.00 he wanted $2500.00 The plastic inside is also in great condition with only a pin hole of rust and it gets cold.
Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: vendo39 on April 16, 2009, 02:34:45 pm It would be hard to find beer in the paper pint cartons that would fit in the machine .. :biggrin: But it's easy to find little cartons of orange juice. Load it up with the orange juice cartons, put a couple of bottles of tequila and grenadine in that top part and BOOM - you now have a Tequila Sunrise machine! :happydrinkers: I knew I could find a use for that machine! :tounge: Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: mrsoda on April 16, 2009, 04:22:29 pm I have a very nice one i got from vintage vending , just before they got out of restoring machines, It is done as nice as you will ever find, he sold it very cheep 2200.00 restored just to move it. These bring at the shows restored real nice 4000-5000, I saw one at hersheys last year done very nice at 4500
Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: GreginNM on April 16, 2009, 05:28:07 pm Awesome find, Curtis! I'm working on getting one of those sometime in the future. My 5 year old picked that machine out of Jeff Walters' book as the machine she wants me to get. The way her and her sister go through chocolate milk, I need one! I've already checked, and they distribute milk in the little cartons around here by arrangement. That way, the girls won't always be bugging me or Mom to get them a cup of milk, they can just go vend their own! :happydrinkers:

Wow, how could anyone restore and sell that machine for $2200 even if they got it for free? Title: Re: VENDO MILK MACHINE FOUND Post by: mrsoda on April 17, 2009, 08:38:53 am They were closing down and sold everything they had very cheep at the end, they also had one done as a cow, which went for 2500.00 , it was a good time to buy from them at the end. Now these sell for 5000 done up nice.
