I also have a vendo 81 that works great, but is pretty beat up. Perfect for outside on the patio full of beer. Would definitely need a new paint job, besides that other parts could probably just be cleaned up. Again any info would be great.

I’ve looked around knowing that I’m sure this topic has been covered ….but I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for. On my 81 HD VMC Pepsi machine, my serial number of the cabinet tag is: 100296B41 (I did find out that the B41 on the tail end stands for Pepsi). My compressor deck plate ID tag is: 5K563530
I’ve listed both numbers as I read that the VMC deciphering codes are not the same as the Vendo machines. And that it might be a combination of the two tags?? I’m curious to know how to decipher my serial number to learn what year and month my machine was manf? TIA |

Newbie here...
I did a good amount of searching and perhaps didn't use correct terminology to find what I was looking for. So, reviving this old thread with a question. I have a Vendo 63 Queen Anne with a can rack in it. What tip/trick or source do you have for product labels on the can gates? Or does anyone have the size so I can roll my own? They're the rectangular ones, not the round ones. |

That’s what I was afraid of . Asked on FB gumball site and quickly found out why it didn’t have much participation.
