Yesterday I picked up my first vending machine, the last owner told me it was a 1977.  I have read a little bit around here today and really like some of the machines you guys have.  I need to clean it up a bit, but it runs great, keeps drinks cold and the coin/vending works great.  

I need to figure out why it won't take nickels, and also how to change the price.  I plan to add a button for free vend, probably hidden or install it stealth somehow/where.  maybe even if it's possible to make this a can/bottle combo vending machine.

anyway, here are some pics, any information about this machine would be great.  And if anyone knows where to set the price at, that would be AWESOME.

thanks!

Good deal. Does the light work? The ballast looks a little toasty?

That looks really clean if you haven't cleaned it at all yet. A Vendorlator 90 (look under Vendo in the machines section), cooling and coin mech working with a light up sign...you did fine at $200.  
Not that they are hard to find but where/how did you find it?

Yeah, the light works, but it's kinda purple-ish....I'm going to replace it soon, just need to find bulb of the same size.  I am 99% sure the ballast is still good, no buzzing, flickering, etc.

thanks! yeah, i ran a rag over it to get the dust off.  I need to take the panel out that has the bottle holes in it and clean it up, maybe repaint it...and I need to clean out the inside.  the shelves and the inside are dirty.  

I need to either find a bezel or replace the pepsi sign, it's held in with tape at the moment.  But all the lights work, the vending works, the coin mech works, etc.

I bought it from a member in my local VW club, he was moving and didn't want to transport it....and now I know why '<img'>

but it was worth every penny and all the work that it took to get it out of his garage, down his driveway (VERY steep...atleast 40 degrees), and onto the trailer for the 5 minute ride...luckily he was close to where I just moved to '<img'>
