Welcome! Great machine looks like a Vendolator 56 early 1960s
Love the decal on the side! Can you post a close up of it?
You should be able to get shelves pretty easy. they are on ebay all the time
check under VENDO there. I'll also see if I can get Randy's email and # from Ozark
MO he may have some look under Nostalgic Restoration he has a site.
Don't know if they made a glass door that size for that model!
$50!!!'<img'>!! You got a deal......
A musician! How cool is that! being away from the family would be tuff though..
I have 3 little ones too - 8, 4, and 1.... they keep me busy!
Hope you stick around.... this is a great site.... mainly pop machines... but there
are guys here that like about everything... jukes, records/music for the jukes, cars, gas pumps,
arcade machines, vending machines and more.... It's all good! And a great group!

I paid $50 for my VMC56 Royal Crown machine, and it was in no where that good of a condition. You got a good deal.

Eric.. My VMC56 has a clear glass door. That should be readily available...

Pat... cool machine... Looks great.

Hey Guys ,
Thanks for the info.
Kevin, I am interested in the glass door and I need 2 shelves.
The door measures approx. 24 1/2 by 5 1/2.
my email is dgray27@columbus.rr.com
I am attempting to post some pics.

Here's 2 more......It still running very cold and silently this a.m.
Did they change the alloy in dimes years ago, causing them to weigh slightly less? I am wondering why sometimes the dime takes and other times it doesn't. Nickels work fine. The coin mechanism looks nice and clean. I put a little spray silicone on a dime and passed it through several times to see if that would help....but didn't appear to. They take about 60% of the time.

I have noticed that with quarters.  The "old" quarters go through 100% of the time, no problem, but the new State quarters stop a lot of the times.  I have to reject them and try again.

Thanks for the help.
I went to my buddies junkyard and he had a 40cent Pepsi Vendo 56 that someone scrapped. It is nice condition. They cut the coolant lines before scrapping.
He said it runs, but doesn't cool. I robbed 2 shelves!!!( no problem, we graduated together and his family are pickers as well. Worked on the road with the legendary Bill Monroe..Bluegrass picker ) He wants me to make an offer. It has the glass door I need, but is blue trim. I can repaint it. Junkyards are the weirdest place you can hang out at. You can't even imagine the different type of people that come there with all types of stranges items. While I was there he (Big John, about 260 and fingers the size of sausauges) bought an 8 ton Galion roller for scrap price., and it ran just fine. Talk about HUGE. We had alot of fun crushing everything from bicycles to aluminum truck caps. Even got to run a industrial Cushman into a a couple of cars just for fun. ....Junkyard Derby!!!!
That when I spotted the 40cent bottle Pepsi Vendo 56!!!!! Never had noticed it before.
My wife is..... Noooooo!!!!
We'll see what happens. It was parked off to the side of the junkyard office. Nice shape.
What do you think? Should I part it out? Or resurrect it? It does not have the lighted front.
Beers, industrial roller, every hill-jack in town  stopping by to sell ( prices are really up on aluminum and copper). How can a guy have any more fun?'<img'>

I'd try and get the whole thing... Though I don't know what to offer....
Ah Junkyards...I just got a score board from a high school that was scrapped...
Scrap yards are fun to dig through..
I'm gonna stick the thing on ebay and see if I get any takers.
Good luck with the Pepsi machine and post images if you get it!
