Vendo 126 (1960)

[Vendo Guy]

Just curious if anyone has an estimated value for a V126 (with the beveled glass on front)??  Just got back from looking at it.  It is in awesome condition except for a small dent in the bottom grill.  The guy runs a vending company and just went thru everything and it runs COLD!!

Also, anyone know the type of bottle or cans that work in it??

Thanks,
Shawn

A Vendo V126 w/a style-star sign will vend standard 8-12 Oz. glass bottles only, (unless it's been converted with a can-rack) ? unfourtunatly it's a BIG machine, & it's value is much lower than that of a V90 or V63/56   I'd say you might get between $200-300 with the right buyer, the style star sign does make the machine much more desirable, but the big/tall machines are a hard sell, though on the bright side, if it's complete, it's a great source for shelves & spare parts for the other models (63/90)

Unless it's a unusal model ( like the V126/Orange-crush transitional model I had a while back)
the bigger the machine, the harder it is to sell. yes, there are exceptions as mentioned, my favorite example would be a Vendo De-capper, HUGH & Heavy, but man I'd knock you down to get to one!  but , it's an extreme example. most folks just don't have the room for a really tall machine, but hey, big machines need luv too!

And Johnie, while you're knocking him down to get to the Vendo Decapper, be careful while I'm tripping you so I'll get there first ! ! !

       Just recieved an e-mail from a lady who's boss wanted her to
research the value of his round-cornered glass door machine. She
send a picture of an early 110 that he thinks is worth $1500.00
       Sadly I am going to have to tell her the same thing Johnie just
stated and her boss isn't going to like it one bit!

JIM..Fair enough!     ...Yeah unless it's an RC Cola V110, it'll never bring anywere near $1,500.00
