I went to Pittsburg, Kansas ( a 150 mile drive ) today to pick up a newer dispenser that I had won on E-Bay. The guy I was getting the dispenser from asked me to look over a few of the his soda machines while I was there. He was having a problem with a Coke Cooler and a Coke Vendo 81 round top that he had a guy comming over to maybe buy (he tried to sell it to me but I don't have $1300 to spend right now). I told him that he needed to replace a fan in the cooler and the 81 was set to vend so I reset it. We were looking over his other machines (He has a coke slider and a Coke Vendo 31) and he pointed out a tall Pepsi Square top. He said that he would be comming by where I lived in about a month and if I wanted that machine he would drop it off at my house. He said the #### thing bit him (got a good shock) and the compressor has been removed. I said sure (was not going to pass that up). The guy came to look at the V-81 and though I was interested in buying it so he paid the $1300 and ran off with it. After he left we started talking about a Coke Vendo 63 square top that is not in too bad of shape. He was wanting $350 for it. I told him that was a little to high for me. We talked it over and he went down to $250. I agreed and he will be bring both machines to me in about a month. Yes, I took a few pictures before I left. Here is the dispenser.

This is the machine that bites. It is a mutilated (changed to Pepsi  '> ) Vendo 144. Everything is there but the compressor.

This is the Vendo 63. There is rust on the bottom of the inside sleeve and some surface rust on the rack. Easy fix.

That's a clean 63 your getting there. I just picked up a Coke dispenser today and a True single glass door pepsi cooler. I didn't have room for coke dispenser so I left it at my friends antique store. I will be picking it up soon. I don't plan on keeping either one of these. I will post pictures of the coke dispenser if anyone is interested in it. It's from the late 60's I would guess and it is about 3'x3' and approx. 18" tall. It would have set on a counter and it has 4 taps.

When I looked it over the only thing I could find missing is the compressor. What I could be interested in is a replacement sign for the front. It looked like the original sign was painted over and I don't know if I can get the paint off without ruining the original finish. I will get with you when I get the machine. I have a complete working cooling system that will slide right in.

Nice score.

When I read that I thought of the "haunted Coke machine" from ebay this summer.
Man it's been a long day. I've been painting door frames and walls all day. I guess that accounts for the rambling.
