Need help!!

I have just picked up an old square corner machine - probably from the late '60s or early '70s. I've fired it up and it works great! The manufacturer is labeled as "Vendorlator - a division of Vendo Co." and the model number is VF126BB.
Anyone know anything about this machine and where I might find the following parts:
- Manual/repair guide
- Outer aluminum trim
- Door spring
- Seals/gaskets
- Original paint colors & decals
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Howdy BigJ - start with the sodajerkworks and/or Funtronics. Both are listed as sponsors on the home page of this site. Welcome.

BigJ
I think you should spend some time reading this board & look for the Vendo 63 -126 posts as those machine are almost identical to yours.
I have a V126 so I may need be able to help.
Can you post a pciture?

Welcome to SMC, BigJayCola! Great to have you here. Probably the best place to score the metal trim is from a donor machine. I know that Funtronics and Soda Jerk Works doesn't stock trim.
But, that doesn't mean that you can't ask! Steve Jebb (Soda Jerk Works) Has a pretty large lot of donor machines that he keeps around for this very purpose. I'm not saying that he'll definitely have it but it's worth a try. He's helped me out a few times with stuff like this.
Show us some pictures of your "new" machine when you get a chance. Welcome!!

Manual/repair guide
- Outer aluminum trim
- Door spring
- Seals/gaskets
- Original paint colors & decals
Hard time finding paint thread.
Decals, gaskets and maybe a manual can be found at Funtronics.

Hope this helps.
