My newest machine Vendo 39

[bmw90w]

I just bought this today and couldn't help myelf. I hopefully got a fair deal. I paid 1000 for it. It is all original with minor dents that can easily be pushed out. It even still cools which is great. I am going to try to keep the original paint and just try to buff it. I will replace all seals,insulation, paint the liner etc. I am going to have many questions so please be patient. Im gonna try to post some pics as well.

Can anyone help me and tell me the resolution the pics need to be? Thanks

Resized down to 72 dpi with dimension at 800x600 or less should work well.
Each image has a 100kb limit

Congrats on your new purchase ! ! !

 Thanks for the help guys. But honestly, did I pay too much? Did I atleast do okay on the price? I just wonder what todays value of these machines are. Thanks!

What matters here is do you like it! if so then that is what matters... We've all overspent on items that we really wanted.. .it's a live and learn lesson. In my opionion, I think 1000 was a little high, occassionally you can find a Vendo 39 for less money, condition and location are everything, so if your happy with all that, then congrats!

are you going to restore it or just get it cleaned up and running?

[bmw90w]

I am going to restore it to my best ability. Im going to try to buff it and see what the paint does to keep it original. If it doesnt come out great, I am going to have it painted. I a going to replace all wires,insulation,trim pieces etc to make it nice, and paint th liner and rack.

If you are wanting to go original your machine was originally all red. It was probably repainted by coke in the late 50's. You can tell by the chrome that separates the red and white. Original two tone machines had stainless trim and yours is tape. It is also an earlier model with the embossed rib along the bottom and coin door which would have been an all red machine. Personally I prefer the two tone machines. Nice 39!
