About a month ago I bought my first vending machine. It is a vendorlator VF-165 and I absolutly love it! Bought it off of craigslist for $150 and she runs great. When I first got it I think it was outside because there seemed to be an inch of dirt in the bottom and there are some dents that look like it has been shot with a BB gun but I got it all cleaned up and it looks like a different machine. Right now I have it in my dorm room and we have had a lot of people on our floor coming by to see it. It is a neat machine and it even has the can opener in the front (Which does not work with modern cans I found out it just ends up shooting pop all over the side of the machine and the floor laugh) Here are some pictures I took of it when I first got it and some before and after shots of it all cleaned up.

I like how you call the machine "she" and "she" is in your dorm room!

That is the perfect dormroom machine. In nice shape, retro look and indestructable. Have fun with it!

Have fun with it and make sure you set the price of beer happydrinkers high enough so you don't have to pay for your own!  I wish I would have had a machine in my dorm room.  I could have made a fortune!
