Guys,

I think you are wrong.  I believe that is the last surviving unit of the rare Vendo V-63-ELV model.  I believe that most of those were returned to the distributor and crushed after Elvis left the building for the last time!   biggrin Cool laugh

Restored, I hear those are worth $5 or $6 grand!

 drinking Tim drinking

Jim--that is a keen eye you have there but this is the seldom seen model that was available if you ordered the machine with the NBV option

Johnie--the LTSC option was not available on this machie until the 70's.  This is an earlier model from the 60's!

And here I thought you guys were all soda jerks!  tounge

I drove through slush and snow on Monday AM getting to the airport. Landed in Houston to 80 degrees and sunshine. Flew back Tues eve, and learned we were getting more of the slushy crap today.. Had 2" when I left for work this morning. I love snow, but I've had enough of it this year.

I think I would rather have the older round top model with the embossed Elvis...
