This
is a restored Coca Cola
Vendolator 56 machine which we sold on Ebay in March, 2005.
The Vendo 56s are from the 1960s and were a popular model.
Restored it now runs at a cool 36 degrees and holds 7 different
selections of soda. This type of machine holds up to 49 twelve ounce
cans and will vend them for free or a price up to 75 cents.
When restoring this machine, its
refrigeration system was worked on thoroughly. The refrigeration unit
has been recharged and the machine has received new fan motors, new
temperature control, and new wiring throughout the system. The vending
stack has also been cleaned, painted, and lubricated for reliable
vending. The lighting of the machine has also been rebuilt with new
wiring and bulbs.
The exterior of the machine has been
reworked and then repainted with an acrylic enamel paint job. The
interior, after a thorough cleaning, has been repainted with silver
hammerite. Also, the sign face has been replaced but is identical to
the sign faces of the 1960s. Additionally, the decal scheme of the
machine matches the original design.
