A mix of compressed time and real time, but mostly compressed to music.

From what I've seen online, there's a way to adjust the coin path slightly to allow for quarter play. I'm not sure I'm going to do that since there's a pound of tokens in the hopper but that sounds like a fun mod for the home machine.

That's a strange duck.

Lots o rust..





Making a lil progress

reminds me of the machine at the Cedartown Coca-Cola museum.. you put your money in fish out the bottle with the arm thing and drop the bottle into the chute..
this look like you put the money in it unlock the handled lid and you get your soda after you fish it out and drop it in the bin. I would guess early forties because of the cooler.

Parting out Vendorlator,  VMC 27A.

Wow, weird one, would love to see some side angle shots

Got a chance to see it in person this weekend. It has keys luckily but there's a decent amount of cosmetic work to do including external paint. The coin slides felt like they had no moved in 20 years, probably just need a cleaning. Not sure about the heater or what's inside but that's all part of the repair/rebuild fun on side projects like this.    Waitin on joystick grommets for the game console and then this will be coming in the garage. I also have the 1997 parchislo machine I'm doing a full internal clean and door rebuild on. That is my personal project. The peanut cart is another one for my buddy that owns the Museum of The Bizarre in town.

Wonder if that's something the Quikold Company offered... that sure looks like a Quikold cooler (master?) to me...
Looks like you have to fish out the bottle with that arm thing... pretty cool.

Very interesting John!
Keep us posted with more info...  Would like additional pictures showing the vending system, coin mech, etc, etc...
