VMC-33

What is the availability of a used bottle drum for this model and would it be the same as a 3D-33? What could I expect to pay for one.Thank's guy's for any info.

     All 33's and 27's use the same drum. Beware that you may also be missing rollers
and ratcheting index too.(See pic below) I rarely see a drum for sale but complete
machines sell for $300 to $400. Buy one, steal the drum and part out the rest.

It is either the upper rollers or the lower rollers - I can't remember - but they use different rollers. One pair is the same, but the other is different (smaller). They are even different part numbers in the user manual/parts list. It could be a difference between the 33 and 27 or it could be a difference between the 27/33 split door models and the 3D - I'll try to verify in the next day or so.
The drum is the same as Glen said.
The coin mech for a 27/33 split door model IS different than the 33-3D model coin mech - I know that for sure!

Thank's guys.If my buddy passes on buying it I'll try and get it for a good deal.My thought was if it's missing vital parts there's not much value with this one.I'll see what next week brings.

Johnny, if you end up getting it and need the drum let me know. I have a 33 that should have everything inside. I just haven't opened it yet. The shell is rusted pretty good so I was going to make it into something since I don't think it can be salvaged. Let me know if good price and all the parts you might need...

If Johnny doesn't get the machine, I need a drum for a pepsi 27 I am restoring. Thanks
