Today a man called me about an ad that I placed in the paper for Coke machines wanted. He wants to sell me 3 machines. The first is a Pepsi vendorlator 110 that he says doesnt cool and is in fair condition. he says it is rusty but still restorable. The second is a Glassco 50 that he says works and is in good condition, and has the rack and coin mech. The third is what I think is a vendo 126 that is in fair condition, and works but doesnt cool. I don't care much for the 126 because it is so tall but he will only sell them together. I havent seen them yet but I am going tomorrow. He wants a total of $200 for all three machines. I wanted to get all of your advice before I go. Even if they are in poor condition should I buy them for parts. $200 seems like a great price. Please let me know.

It's a steal! grab it NOW! or give ME his number! 
even if it's somewhat rusty the V110/Pepsi ( assuming it's a round corner 50's model) is a HOT machine to get!
hint hint- nudg nudg..

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Follow your instinct! GO FOR IT! No shipping charge?
I see $600. to $800 worth of easy to sell parts, but the parts are even worth more to you, if you ever buy a machine that is missing them, (and you will before long)
$200.00 IS A STEAL DUDE! Post us again when you own them

I will do. Unfortunatly I have to bring them home one at a time. Its not too bad it's only about 30 miles. I wish I had a trailer. I will take pics so I can hopefully brag about my find.
Thanks again for your help I thought it was a good deal but I had to make sure.

Bring home the 110 Pepsi first (assuming it is a round corner), you never know what can happen...not everyone honors a deal and there are all sorts of sneaky characters out there...

Well I went and got the machines today. The Glasco is in great shape. The only thing wrong with it is it has a small rust hole in the front of the machine, but a welder and some paint will make it new. It is also 100% complete and cools great. The 110 is a different story. It is complete but in pretty bad shape. The bottle door is rather rusty and the loovers on the side are rusted out. I wasn't able to plug it in but I doubt it works. All of the shelves are there and the mech is there. the rest of the machine isn't too bad. With some work it could be restored or would be great for a parts machine. The tall 60's machine turned out to be a vendo 256. he says it works. I left it there but I am going to go get it tomorrow. Ill gut it and scrap the rest. I'll post some pics later tonight when I get them unloaded. But for now how did I do? And does anyone need a Vendorlator 110?

And by the way he says he has some picnic coolers he would get rid of. He didn't say a price but Im sure it won't be much. He said something about a stainless cooler but I wanted to act not interested and talk to you all first. Are they worth anything?

Sounds like you did well.....
And parts are everything! Even when they're rough.
There's someone that needs something. I'm sure there's someone out there with a perfect 110 shell but the door's smashed in. So the door, mech, shelves, etc. is all worth
it. Even the picnic coolers would be worth it... handles, drains,
corner guards, trays.... It ain't like you can go out to the store and pick them up.
Good Score! Buy it all while you can...  '>
