Anyone see or know any information about this model...?

Canada Dry Machine

Update: Just noticed it's from the Universal Vender Company of Elgin, Ill  --> Too bad it doesn't have a model number...

Just an observation, but the styling of the chassis & trim pieces look like they were cloned from an S/V 96, same cast bottle delivery chute, coinmech, & if it had the S/V cast aluminum coindoor, you'd swear it was an S/V 96.

Good observation, JohnieG!  The door latch looks the same as the SV-96 as well, but the bottle chute placement is way off. 

Interesting machine!

Not sure on the model, not a whole lot of info out there on Universal Vendors.  One interesting thing that came up in a search was the patent that was filed, and it looks to be the same machine, at least on the interior.
