As I said in the prior post. both models used the same chassis, the difference being the front door trim, & selection buttons & the associated wiring harness, so in theory you could take a single & "pop" a dual front door onto the rear chassis & it would become a dual vendor.

Someone asked earlier in the thread if it has an auger style vending system like the late models, they do, however hey are cast zinc, not plastic, and they are not interchangeable between the late vs earlier styles. 

Interestingly the single vendor is less common ( I hate the misleading word "Rare" in this hobby) than the dual, but not a desirable. they are both stunning machines when restored & all of the trim polished up against a nice dark Pepsi Blue & the sporty white strips that are still showing on your machine.

Mine had a large Pepsi cap water release decal on the front & you can still see teh outline of where it was located, but it just flaked away to dust.

Choice Vend liked those augers. Must have been their solution to babying glass bottles out of the machine. Could these early ones vend cans?

Are the relays inside the dual relay box the same ones they used later in the 5 box?

PS... I do have a replacement Pepsi light up cap for the front of mine, no point in hanging it onto the machine until I decide to restore it.

Note: it's the same size as an S/V (Select-Vend) Pepsi machine of the same era, while S/V's are far much more common to find that these C/V's ( I luv the acronyms)  tounge

Yes indeed , this model will vend cans! And the internal "guts" AKA the relays themselves will work from a late machine to an early machine, but prepare to do some soldering.

What about the individual relays? Are they interchangeable with later ones?

EDIT: Sorry, I see now.

I kind of thought the "Choice Vend" branding meant you could choose to vend cans or bottles with their machines. There are very few round tops designed to vend cans.

Hi.  Thanks everyone for educating me on this machine.  The machine is a CV-102.  I have the Tag and Serial Number.  SO,  it appears that the vending portion has been changed out over time for the single dispensing unit but the body is identified as a CV-102.

Thanks

johnnieG did the educating, for both of us.

About how much does your machine weigh?

That is a nice machine for your first one. Congrats and welcome! I always liked the look of the the plastic lens on top of many brands of Pepsi machines.

Here is an interesting Choice Vend magazine advertising ad I just found from 1957 listing the models of Choice Vend.  
You can see the models available and also how many flavors each machine dispensed.  It is interesting that this ad does not mention a two flavor CV-102,  but list the CV-112 as a two flavor model.  This leads me to believe the model was discontinued prior to 1957 or the Cv-102 was just a larger bottle holding unit of the CV-72.

Thanks and I hope everyone is doing well.
