It is true what they say, unrestored original vendo 56's are still out there hiding. I bought this one from an older lady that had it in her garage 20+ years and finally decided to sell it to me. I have been looking for a Vendo 56 for over 2 years now and I feel great that my search is finally over.  It wasn't a screaming deal as she knew what she had, but I was able to buy it for the price of one that needs restoration. This one is completely original and unrestored. Gets nice and cold and vends perfectly. They are still out there! Just thought you guys might like to see it.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I don't plan on touching it at all and will be keeping this one forever! here is another pic with it in my kitchen working and my 50's counter top sign on top of it.

Some 56's did come with the glass door. It would be nice if you found one somewhere and install that on your machine keeping your original door so you would have both but use the glass door.

Patience pays off!! That right there is a difference between a collectors piece in the game room piece. Appear in the Northeast everybody likes everything original and "patina" is expected. Those perfect originals are hard to find and as the machines all get restored, I think they will be the real investment for the future in the northeast market.
