I have a vendo 63 Queen Anne Dr Pepper and I would like to restore it.
Is there a market for restored Queen Anne machines and what would be the value?

Hello Larry,
Welcome to the board! Think they go for around $600.00 on eBay. Someone here was looking for one. Please post a picture. Glad you are here.

Welcome to the board. Post some pics of your machine. Then check the search as recommended by the dr. If you have any questions just ask as this group is very helpful, there is a lot of good information in the old postings too.

Hey Larry - the last two I've watched have gone for about $450 - $600 bucks. See here, here and here. But it's ebay so you never know.

The one I have does not seem to be in as good shape as the ones listed on ebay but close. It does run.
I am unable to open since i do not have a key.
Is there a cheaper way to open without drilling or calling a locksmith. The lock has a name (Ace) but no number on it.
it would seem that it would not be worthwhile to spend at lot of time or money on the machine if they are only worth $600.
Any ideas?
Larry

Larry,
Just drill the lock. Then post some pics and we can go from there. Depends what you want to do with it. Fun item to have.

I assume that there is no loss in value and that the replacement locks are cheaper than a locksmith.
I do not want to screw something up before i even get started.
The lock has Ace in the middle of it and flex-ace on the outer ring of the lock

Larry,
Pretty sure "Ace" brand is already a replacement. Just use a 1/16th bit and go slow drilling where the key would go. You can tell when it breaks loose. Then a flat head screwdriver will turn the lock.
