Find of a lifetime

« on: February 19, 2006, 11:53:57 pm »

Well it finally happened to me! While out looking for Soda Machines, at garage sales, I spotted a beautiful red and white pice of metal. As I approched it I almost passed out. This elderly couple were moving out of state a decided to part with items they did not plan on taking with them, to the Siera Mountains. Basically this kind awsome lady just wanted to get rid of it and let me pick my price. I said fifty dollars and she said its yours. Yahoooooooooooo. It is not pretty but its complet and restorable. Since I am enrolled in an autobody class I will have the door repaired in no time. Vendo 81B.

Thanks for looking '<img

I was just out and about stopping by garage sales through some of old neighborhoods. The machine was not being displayed, it was tucked back in the corner of the garage backwards. But there was no denying those beautiful round corners, I new it was a vendo 81. Like I said they simply wanted to get rid of it and where more than happy to sell it for the 50.00 I offered. Its does need some work since they stored outside for 2years and dinged it w/their truck but defenitly restorable. I have a friend helping me w/posting pics, they should be up soon.
