I would like an idea of a selling price for this machine:
General description:
   Vendorlator Model 27, Vendorlator Mfg. Co., Fresno, CA
   Serial #2617

   Unpainted metal is corroded, but probably just needs a good cleaning.

   Red painted area at upper left has a shallow dent
It was in working order when used in my son's Record Store in the early 80s. I have not tried, but believe it would still run. There is no key. A corner of the rear plate has been tampered with and has been loosened. Pictures are available.

My thanks to anyone who can help. I am getting my house ready for sale and am downsizing.

Welcome Martha!

According to Jeff Walter's Machine guide, a Vendolator 27 in average condition is pegged at $1200.00 for 'average' condition (average, according to Jeff, all major parts intact, little or no rust, and no 'major dents'. Subtract $900 if the stand is missing.

Depending on the condition, and buyer, your actual milage may vary '<img'>,

Relax Martha.   He meant to say deduct $300.00 without the stand.   '<img'>
