Tracy,

First off, welcome aboard! The original compressor that came stock with the Vendo 39 was either a Kelvinator or Westinghouse (both were used for the 39) and it was 1/8 HP. The most common size is medium temperature, 1/4 HP. Low temp. compressors are for machines that are made to freeze items and high temp. compressores are for machines designed to keep food cool, more like a fridge.

I honestly dont have any idea what size was used. I had a friend build up the unit for me. If you want his number let me know.

Guys, Thanks for all the help, and the great welcome.  I have found this compressor that I think I will go with for the V39. The major differences are that the original was a 1075 btu and this is a 1007, and the original is a 1/6 hp and this is a 1/4. I contacted one of my old cooler service buddies from Durham Coca-Cola in NC, and this is what he suggested. CHeck it out and let me know what you think: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4MG93

Don't know what brand this is, but the price is better.  If you have any connections with a HVAC person, you mght be able to get one at a discount through Johnstone or R.E Michael
