http://stlouis.craigslist.org/zip/4687875027.html I know the Vendo 83 is not the most desirable machine, but it's FREE. She says it has some freshly chromed and plated parts.
Here's a copy of the posting:
FREE OLD Coke Coca Cola Machine (St Charles)
Doing some fall clean out. I have an old Coke Coca Cola machine I want gone. It is a project that was started and is now in pieces. I know I will not ever get to it. It is from 1948 I believe. Vendo model 83. Most of the parts are there, cabinet, compressor, many bags of parts. The cabinet is in primer, many parts have been re-chromed and some metal parts have been cadmium plated as well. And that is where we stopped. This is free for the taking. I will not hold it for anyone as it is free, please do not make me do any more work by waiting for you and you decide not to show up. So, first come, first serve. When it is gone, I will remove this ad. So, if you are reading this, it is still here. I will put it out in my driveway so it will be easy to load. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE FRONT DOOR! Just load it and go. You will need a truck or a van. The cabinet is 64" tall, 33" wide and 18" deep. And remember, it is in pieces so, you will need extra room for the compressor and all the bags of parts. Thanks for looking...
