I have an opportunity to buy this machine. I'm going to see it tomorrow and according to the owner he has no idea if it works but says its a complete machine. What would you pay for it assuming it doesn't cool or vend but is complete? I know its not a great picture but its all i have to go on.

Make sure it cools and for me, it would be a $1000 or $1200 machine.

So I ended up with it because of a random call from a guy that got my number from someone that new I collected machines. No clue who it was but apparently she saw the machine at his yard sale and gave him my number. So here it is. It has some dents on the bottom and was repainted many years ago but still looks decent. It does vend well but I haven't plugged it in yet since it had been on it's back and the cord needed to be replaced. It is the first embossed Pepsi I have ever found. It seems really hard to find anything Pepsi around here. Seems to be all Coke.

That's a good buy Seth. The insides are very similar to how a Vendo 44 works. The rack is basically a "Double" Vendo 44 rack.  You may have to shim the sides of the rack to get certain size bottles to vend, but once you play drinking around with it a bit, they are fun.

Thanks guys! I was thinking it looked like a bigger version of a 44. It had the shims with it so I used them for the smaller bottles. It seems to be vending well.  I just couldn't leave it in the guys garage since Pepsi seems to be so hard to find around here. I don't think its going to be a keeper though. I'm going to sell it to raise some money for Chicago show and hopefully find something a little more up my alley.
