Vendo 44

[Skeleton Man]

Hi guys,

There's a guy not too far from me (45 mins) selling a Vendo 44 in average condition for $175.

It's only the cabinet, door, and chromework, so is this a fair price ?

How hard is it to find the guts for a 44 ?

If you aren't I could be interested. Does it have a cooling system? DO you have any pics? Alot of the parts are repoped but they are pricey. The rack, coin door, and coin mech are all reproduced.

Waiting for the seller to get back to me re compressor and pics..  If it's just the cabinet with no cooling system, is it still worth $175 ?

It depends on how nice the cabnet is. If it is a nice solid cabnet you could wait and try to find a complete rust bucket 44 to transfer the parts into. I forgot that you are n Canada. I wouldn't be interested if you don't get it. It is too hard to get it to the US.

No pictures and no compressor, but this what the guy said.. "Very solid - no rust, has been painted white at one time. I bought it for
the compressor."

I can understand the shipping issues..  that's why I don't buy anything from the states..

I think I'll pass on this one because shipping a whole machine or even a new compressor would be rather expensive..

Might hold out for a reasonably priced juke..  or a queen anne 63 if I could find one..

Does it have anything? Coin mech coin door?

Hey Chris, I have question for you would you have room to store it
for some time ? If so go ahead and make a offer of $100 to $125
  Because when you least expected it something will pop up  two months or a  year or two down the road  and then you will have wished you  had that cabinet or those chrome parts.
 Just my thoughts on this.

You can't loose money at that price.
