What's interesting is the price for a slug rejector in 1948, $9.29! A stand was only $12.50!
The last original VCC slug rejector I had for sale was from a late model changer and sold for $150+
And Jim - it is fun to look back on what parts cost back then
A Standard Top Assembly (complete with mechanism) for a Vendo 23 was $29.10 - the Deluxe Top was $37.50.
BTW - I had an uncommon VCC insert repopped (copied from an original I had - see pic).
Any members here that are interested in one can get one for $12 (S&H inc.) - PM or email me
I'll be selling them on eBay for $15 plus S&H sometime soon.
