Dave - to pass on another saying I saw on these boards, I hope your mates get a chance to "beat the snot" out of the perpetrators. Hang in there.

Chaps
I would just like to pass my thanks onto each and everyone of you with regard to your words of support.
With the exception of Israel/Iraq we here in the UK have experienced more terrorist attacks than any other nation (Clearly 9/11 was the most spectacular) so if they think that a few bombs are going to change anything they are so wrong.
Like everyone (apart from those that have tragically lost loved one) I have a sense of just "getting back to normal" and with that in mind what do the group think of this Vendo
Cheers
Dave

Good to see you are well.
As for the machine I like the compact size.

I don't like the fact that the coin mech is missing. That's $350 alone to replace with an aftermarket coin mech, unless you can find one on ebay, and even then it would most likely need to be shipped from the states. I know the auction states it's fully functional but I've found that particular phrase can be very loosely interpreted. I would also be curious as to the type of "conversion" used to allow it to vend cans. I'd ask for pictures of the inside to see if the "conversion" consists of removal of the original bottle vending rack replaced by simple shelves.

Thanks for your comments.
You are echoing what I have been thinking.
In the Jukebox world anything from South America is considered second rate anyway. Is this the same for Soda Machines??

I've never seen a coke machine "frowned upon" due to where it was produced. In fact, some people will pay more for machines embossed in spanish or french due to the rarity and novelty of the product. In any case, a coke machine is a much simpler critter than a jukebox, therefore less that can go wrong and less concern of inferior quality.

Okay
I'm thinking that this person want way more than the machine is actually worth. I want to e-mail him and ask him a few questions. Pictures of the inside etc. Anything else that I need to ask?? He live too far to visit just for an inspection.
Although a great deal more practical does adding a can vending mech actually reduce value??
What is the going price for a machine like this in the US?? I have seen fully restored ones at shows with prices into the £4000's.
I guess I'm getting excited over it ONLY because of the limitted availability here.
Thanks
Dave
