Is it just me but once you dig into a Vendo 44 there is very little to these machines. In a matter of an hour I figured out how to remove the coin mech and reinstall it. I figured out how to remove the compressor, load bottles, turn it on, figured out the door and how to assemble the rack inside that was missing all the screws when I got it, and managed to figure out what I am missing..
I cant wait to compile all the parts and get this machine to spec lol..

One of the joys of this hobby. These machines are made up of sub-assemblies. Does get a bit tricky if you decide to take the slug rejector or coin mech apart though :-)

I figured the coin mech is a nightmare, but in general the rest is simple.... and as a I noticed you all see it as a hobby, I just see it as a joy to keep one of these suckers alive... and I think now when I see another machine I'm going to grab it lol

Another bitten by the bug! Welcome! Stick around! You'll have a half a dozen soon and
looking for places to hide them from the wife.
Bubba'a been here less than a year I think and has about 5 or 6!
They are fun! Bring back good memories and are worth a little once you get them shined up and working!
Nice machine for your first!

Ha Classic Minis. I had a mini once. Only for a short while. It was older than I was and as I'm 6'2" was bloody cramped. Now you have started me off on Mini's. Are they readily available in the US??

I see a small handful of the "new" Minis here, theres a guy in town who has a old one green with a white roof. You can find them with a little looking.
