Bob-

That's looks like a Vendo 63 from the late, late 60's to the mid-seventies.

Its a Vendo 56.  No doubt about it.

Too bad someone already got the sign.

Wasnt someone looking for a coin entry bezel off of a 56?
I cant remember who. Seems like there was a post recently.

Josh - gotta ask... how can you be so sure it's a 56 and not a 63?

[loman4ec]

There are three ways. First you can slightly see the coin bezel and see that it is flush with the coin door. The 56 has a really small coin bezel and a sticker to simulate the 63's chrome or gold bezel but the 63's isn't a part of the door and slightly sets back a little and is slanted slightly. Second the area around the bottle door is flat. On a 63 it sinks in at an angle to meet the bottle door and the 56 is just a flat piece of metal (I know that is hard to understand). And the easiest way is the cabnet. The large front door on a 63 is really thin like on a cavalier 64. On the 56 it is about 5 inches thick on the side before it meets the cabnet.
