R2D2 Vendo Pepsi

[pepsi-perk]

I went and looked at a Pepsi Vendo yesterday.  I couldn't read the model number from the nameplate that was on the machine.  This machine was very small and maybe 4 1/2 feet tall.  Anybody know what the model number might be?  I didn't buy it yet...thought about it for a day.  Just threw a counter offer back at him...waiting for an answer.  Thought I would use this machine to learn how to sand and paint.

It was probably a 56.
Was it a round top or a square top?

[pepsi-perk]

it is a square top.  not in the best shape paint-wise, but for $50, what the heck!

Here is a pic of the machine in question...thanks!

I was reading the title of this post wondering why it say's R2D2 Vendo Pepsi,, i was waiting to see a photo of one of those pepsi ice coolers or a machine painted up in star wars theme?

And i was tihnking it was the R2D2 Pepsi cooler that was out a few years ago.  N Basically an  ice chest, but  I'm sure SW fans are  grabbing them as fast as they can

sorry about the title...it's just the first thing I thought of when I saw it in the guys driveway...I was somewhat shocked at how small it was compared to the ones I do have.

Okay...I picked up the little Pepsi vendolator tonight and was finally able to make out the nameplate for a model number.

It appears to read VFA56B-C  Would this be commonly known as a V56 when talking about it on the boards?

Thanks!

Yup.. thats a V56. Nice little machines. If you want to turn it into a can machine, I've got a stack and shelves I'm looking to trade..
