Vendo 39 ID tag

[BONOVOX]

Hello
Looking for a Vendo 39 original ID tag

Ive attached a pic of a machine with the tag that Im looking for.
Its the smaller tag with 2 holes to fasten (red and silver tag)


Thanks all

       It's pretty hard to see your tag but I'm afraid you may have a Canadian version cuz I have never seen an ID tag in red and with 2 holes except down on the compressor base. But maybe someone else here has.

My 39 is missing the tag and it would have been the same one or similar.  The two rivets or screws are still there but no tag.  I assumed it was a bottler tag that had been removed.  I thought I saw the tag somewhere--maybe in the Fun-tronics catalog?  If you find it, I could use one too!

I do not think anyone reproduces this ID Tag...
I have seen this tag fastened to the brace above the refrigeration area next to the switch or the hole where the evaporator fan shut-off switch is mounted...
Usually, that's where this tag is mounted and the black/silver/4-hole tags are fastened where yours is located...
Interesting...

My 39 is like the one pictured.
It is an original machine, never been repainted.
Just like Tims, someone took of the ID tag, and left the 2 screws that fastened it to the machine, on the machine.

Although I am Canadian, this machine is not, as I purchased it from a guy in Ohio who obtained it from the banquet hall of his church (now that I think of it, my last 2 machines involved a church and a pastor selling a machine for one of his members lol)

My machine NEVER had the typical 4 hole Vendo silver and black ID tag.

So, I guess the plot thickens lol

I believe the tag would look like this one but be from the US Vendo Company:

My machine is also from the US because it even has the "Do not use Canadian coins" decal on the front.  Hmmmmm?

Like Jim says, I did a quick search on Ebay of past 39's and found this original 39 with the ID tag that Im talking about on the inside frame above the motor area.

But like the pic that I posted to start the thread, my tag must have been located on the outside, because the 2 holes with the original screws are still there.

Im gonna go now and check my macnine on the inside if I have 2 holes above the motor area.

Here is a shot of the side of my machine.  There is no indication that there was ever a tag inside of my machine by the compressor.   The one Ed posted is the one I need too.

Tim, mine looks exactly like that, and I too was going to take a pic of my side, but my wife is watching the red carpet for the oscars, and look where my 39 is, sooo............... lol

But I did take a pic of my inside, and I do have 2 holes where Jim is talking about (above the motor area) where the holes were made from the stamping process, but looking at them, they were never screwed into.  Notice that the holes are still stamped holes, never being tampered.

Ed,

You need a bigger TV!

Here is a shot of the inside of mine.  It is in the garage so the lighting is bad.  The mounting holes are near the compressor but like yours, they were never used.  If we can get a good shot of that smaller tag, I am sure we could get it reproduced.

Thanks for bringing this topic up because I am getting ready to do some work on my 39 and I will need to eventually round something up for that spot.
