Something I would take a pass on . Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: Creighton on July 09, 2009, 10:53:38 pm Well looks like it will come to my neck of the woods if it doesn't sell. Whats missing?
Thanks! Creighton Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: Pat Pixley on July 09, 2009, 11:02:13 pm Creighton Give Steve Jebb a call he can fill you in on that machine.
Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: MoonDawg on July 09, 2009, 11:47:59 pm If anything is missing it looks like it would be from the vending stack. Since the
display cabinet, logo sign and coin door equipment are still there, I think it would be only a matter of time before another parts machine would surface to complete it. I like it! Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: cokemachinesandmore on July 10, 2009, 12:07:33 am it does not have the door that you push to retrieve the milk carton, weights are missing, selection buttons, forgot what else steve said.
Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: BrianB on July 10, 2009, 05:25:30 am The selection buttons are an easy find for replacement and I'm pretty sure the the weights can be made. The marquee plastic is easy. Probably the most difficult part would be the flap. I agree with Glen, if anything this would be a solid base to work with when another machine in worse condition pops up.
Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: GreginNM on July 10, 2009, 11:47:10 am I've been eyeballing that one since it popped up on ebay, as that is the machine my 6 year old daughter is dying for to have in her room! The way my girls go through milk, it would get a ton of use, and I've already found a source for the mini-cartons around here in Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, and regular milk!
Of course, this pops up right before family vacation! :darn: That would take a significant dent out of our travel/fun money, and consequently the War Department would put a significant dent in my head!! :oops: If only this had popped up a month or so later, I'd be on that like white on rice (if no one else here was seriously interested in it). If it doesn't sell and no one here is really interested in it, I may contact the seller and work something out for a near future purchase. If that happens, I'll just have to keep an eye out for parts to finish it out. We'll see! Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: Kilroy on July 10, 2009, 12:12:51 pm Greg,
Talk to him before it ends, he updated the listing, mentioned the missing parts, and plans to haul it to Spokane if it doesn't sell. Maybe a small deposit to keep it closer to you. It would be a great project to get the girls involved with... and you know we'll all look out for the parts needed Title: Re: Vendo Milk on Ebay Post by: GreginNM on July 10, 2009, 01:45:32 pm Thanks, I may do that. I was talking to Gumbo a while back about his milk machine and my interest in it, but it's a good ways away and the price is higher (and I haven't had enough play money to pick that one up yet). This one is close to my parents, and could easily be retrieved. It also looks good enough to display while waiting on parts to come up.
You are right, it would be a great project to involve the girls with, as they always want to help me with the machines! That way, they would feel a bit of ownership in it as well if they worked on it...and I wouldn't get bugged to fill cups of chocolate milk ALL THE TIME! Of course, if someone else is interested in it, I can wait until the next one comes along as well... |
