Hello,  I'm new to this side of the coin-op hobby.  I've mainly stuck w/ collecting/restoring arcade games, but when I saw this, I found it interesting, and since it was close by, I got it.  I am told it is a Vendo make, (possibly 126?) from the late '50's or '60's, but I have no clue.  The only experience I have w/ Vendo is my '50's Vendo Popcorn Machine (which is difficult to find info on also).  My main question, is, w/ it being non-working, and with no immediate plans for restoration, was $25 a decent deal?   I pick it up tomorrow.

Hey


That is a great deal.

I have a Vendo 126 in my garage filled with soda, beer & water.  If you want to get it operational this is the place to be.

I have spare refregeration system if you want to get it cooling. You can set it up for free vend or coin vend.

I would suggest taking it home & plug it up to see what happens.

Welcome aboard Sneed21,
  The coin door/mech. is worth more than you paid for the machine. How about a few pictures of the popcorn machine.  ':drinkers:'

That's good to know on the coin mech! '<img'>   I don't have any "dedicated" pics of the popcorn machine (I'll take some tonight and post), but I do have one of an arcade project I'm working on with the popcorn machine in the background.

Ignore the mess and games (works in progress), focus on the Popcorn machine!   ':p'

Oh, the P-corn machine is for sale BTW, works fine, unrestored, 10 cents, weights only accepts nickles though.

I believe that is a Vendorlator 117. Nice machine. I am glad someone here got it. If I wasn't here in Singapore right now I would have bought it. Nice machine but boy is it tall.

Thanks for the info!  I leave in about an hour to pick it up.  Should have her back here by noon.  I'll take more pics then.  I appreciate all the info and look forward to everybody's help in getting her going again!
