I got an e-mail last week from the Vendo USA Corp. headquarters in Dallas Tx. The marketing director was asked by their parent company in Japan to locate a Vendo 63 and ship it over for a 50 year anniversary in November. They were looking for one that was restored or at least nice looking on the outside that was to be used throughout their party and then kept at the headquarters after that.
I have 2 of them and told them I could start building one for them immediately. I got it stripped and painted this weekend and was going to try and have it done by next weekend but then they called back this morning and said they need it shipped sooner since the convention is on the 11th and 12th.
Now they don't even care if it's re-painted, but would consider a nice looking original. If anyone has one and is anywhere near Texas or can get it there ,please PM me and I will have them get in touch with you. I'm sure they would pay $1000. to $1200.or more since they had no problem when I quoted them $1600 painted. They don't care about the inside and don't need a coin mech. since they have thousands of them suited for their own currency.
They may also consider a 56 or 90 but of course it MUST be Vendo. (I have a nice Cavalier 64 I would have liked to sell them)
