We'll Ok, sorry for the late posting but just got back home from a long day.
But went to the garage sale this morning, it was about 30 minutes from the house so left at 6:30, figuring to be there around 7am (an hour early from when the sale was suppose to begin). Got there and as I walked up the driveaway I see this yellow RC Soda machine sitting out front......
just kidding... nothing that exciting....
Anyway it turned out to be a Vendo 110 6 case vertical unit.. early model with the Ice Cold embossed on the bottom... First i only see a tag that says 1950... thinking no way are they asking $1,950 for this beast.... but obviously they where talking about the date... as I get closer I see they are aksing $400 for it.. I don't act too interested but start asking questions, does it run, is it complete , do they have a key and some general info... Yes is runs, missing a couple shelves and key is broken off inside lock but main door opens with screwdriver..
I ask best price ,they say 350.. I counter with 200... i hang around a bit as I'm real early yet and first one there as sale wasn't to start till 8am... I help him move some stuff around to get a better look at it... talk some more talk about price of restorations , missing parts, see some vintage stereo equipment and speakers they are selling and other misc junk
basically ended up walking out and loading it up for $250 with a new stereo for the garage and speakers and the machine...
I figure not bad... it's not a keeper and will put it in my yard sale on Sunday... for $500.
So not a wasted trip.
