Vendo 56 Square Top with Manual Coin Mech

I hate to admit it, but I agree that it would be a good part out machine with how much work it needs. I'm assuming you are not putting all of that effort into a Chevette, but well worth it in a Corvette.

Going to blast that belt tomorrow and see how it looks.   If I punch a whole in it, may just part it out depending what the machine shop my family use to own could do with the metal.

Strip it, Sell everything off and buy something more desirable with the money you get from parting it out. You will be way better off and way ahead, I wouldnt stick a dollar in one of those machines, I have parted out a ton of them and have no regrets.

      You need to find one of those round top Vendo 56's that is missing parts and has a ton of beltline rust.

I am going to see what the metal guy says about replacing the 2 pieces of metal.. I can do the bondo... and the paint

front door, side, rusted around the belt, but all else appears solid

shot from inside down towards the pan the inside unit was on.  rusted as all hell.. needs to go get metal work for this and the last picture



nothing some bondo can't fix

probably weld some supports just to reinforce the back in addition to bondo.

I hate to say it but I think you better off looking for another cabinet. If you are partial to the Square 56's they are a dime a dozen.

I'm thinking you guys may be right.. been seeing 56's sell for $350 or so.... decisions decisions decisions.

On the other hand, it's worth it's weight in experience for when you get another more valuable machine down the road.
