What info are you looking for? Title: Re: Information on a Costa Cola Vendolator H56C Post by: pumpdude on September 21, 2009, 02:02:40 pm My Aunt and Uncle rember Costa Cola when they were kids. I think the soda was made in Newburgh NY, but I dont think they are around anymore. There is a slogan on the bottom of the machine that says The UpTown Drink.
Im looking for a parts list for this machine it needs the glass for the vending door, inner door plastic linner, and some chrome parts. Also possibley new decals for the machine. I dont want to mess with it to much if it has more value in its current state.

Decals etc can be purchased by the site sponsors either funtronics or sodajerk works... Both guys are real nice and knowledgeable... There are guys here that restore for a living and may have some of the harder to get parts that you need... If you have a picture then please post.. We like pictures...

Title: Re: Information on a Costa Cola Vendolator H56C Post by: pumpdude on September 24, 2009, 04:32:48 pm I want to thank everyone for thin information that's been coming in on this machine. I learned a lot about it. I'm starting to take it apart to see what parts I'm going to need to get it back in service for my future train room. Ill send in more pics as I go along.
Title: Re: Information on a Costa Cola Vendolator H56C Post by: collecture on September 24, 2009, 05:37:03 pm Have lots of Ziploc baggies and label them - take lots of pictures of the process and ask any and all questions - someone here will more than likely have encountered the same issue at some point in time.
Title: Re: Information on a Costa Cola Vendolator H56C Post by: pumpdude on September 27, 2009, 09:16:10 pm OK, any one have any ideas how the condensate line comes comes out of the base of the inner liner. I was looking at this and it looks like it is either a sedge fit or a flared end. I need to pull it out in order to remove the inner shell liner.Thank you. :help:
