Large choice vend 440.

So, a buddy and I ran into this and its a beast. I know its not common, but are there any parts on it that are desirable? We don't want it, but if it could give its life to save others before it goes to the scrap bin it may be worth saving then.

It's owned by a lady who thinks its worth something, (way too much) but its going to the scrapper pretty soon. She said they will bust it up before they let it go for nothing to the scrap metal yard.

Looks pretty cool. Kind of a cross between a soda machine and a Stoner with the drop tray.

You could always make a mausoleum door out of it ( after it falls on you & they have to bury you in place.)

"rare" does not equal desirable.

I'd say that any parts it has could be used in smaller models of the same type, the vending motors & metal augers for sure, the selection relay box maybe not. I'm glad I only own a single flavor model ( it's big enough by itself!)

Good thing that is on the other side of the country from me!  I kinda like it...despite its huge proportions.  I need one that size for the garage machine for my 5 rug rats and all their friends to keep from constantly restocking!  Besides...I'm sure I would have several volunteers from our group to help me move it when I get a new assignment!!!
