Yep! it's an SV (SelectaVend) Vendo V83 conversion, looks very complete with exception of the sold-out window on the coin door...they took av old V83, gutted the drum , installed slant shelves & a bottle gate mechanism, plus an external coindoor, wa-la something simular in size & function to a Vendo V-110, the SV company was thinking outside of th ebox on these machines & the smaller V39 conversions too.

One word... UGLY... Not the the 83 is such a pretty machine to start with... but how does the mech work? don't see any actuator or cords running to the vend mech?

very ugly. I dont like how the a in cola rests next to the bottle door

These conversions are electric vendors, you can see the wiring just below the solenoid cover at the bottom of the stack, & the coinmech harness is running along the bottom hinge area of the main door.  ugly, perhaps, but it is a clever bit of recycyling & re-engineering of an otherwise (then) obsolete single flavor vendor into a multi fllavor shelf machine.

       I agree, quite a bit of planning went into this project. Just
have to wonder if it could be cost effective?
       The coin door on this Selectavend looks similar to the ones
produced on the old Selectivend 7up and Dr. Pepper machines.
could they be related?
