I don't know the value I just always liked the way they looked and always wanted one . I heard that you can remove the back shroud and it will dispense long neck bottles ? I just did this one for a movie room . Cold cokes and pop corn . Now I just have to fined and restore a vintage popcorn machine . I want to do another one but in a beer theme like coors original for the garage :)

I like these little machine too. I would love to have a coke VMC 33 to go along with the Pepsi I already have.

 I am having a hard time getting my machine to dispense the larger bottles. What brand are putting in your coke machine.

 

Thanks

Movie room isn't done yet so I'm not running the machine yet but it is only going to be for the small 6-8 oz glass bottles of cokes that you can buy at any grocery store. So I take it that removing the back shroud behind the vending wheel doesn't work then to dispense beer bottles ?

Yeah, the Pepsi bottles are a little larger (10oz) so I am running into an issue there.

I have tried several different bottles and they are either a fraction of an inch to big and I can't close the door or they are to small and the empty (sold out) lever isn't triggered or depressed, leaving the coin mech locked.

I guess I'll keep searching for a bottle that works.

Both machines look great, a 33 is one of the machines you rarely see around here. Ive never owned one but do know where a nice 7up 3D 33 sits.

I would jump at the opportunity to get a nice 7-up 33.

Are you going to get it? and is it reasonbly priced?

Its not for sale at the moment but when it does come available as with the entire collection I will be selling it all off for him. He bought it about ten years ago out of a ladies backyard here in town for $25.00
