Question
We have an old pop machine and were wondering if you could tell us anything about it.  We are not sure what soda company was oringinally on it.  It seems very old but still intact with some rust but no holes.  It is missing the coin slot box and shelves inside but the last time it was plugged in it worked (not sure now, we haven't tried).  Just curious if this is worth anything.  Model # H81  D / Serial # 106760   41   / VT1E Refridgeration Unit  / Test pressures low - 140; high - 235 /  Charge 12 oz.  freon - 12 /  Capacity 2050  /  B.T.U./HR at 21 P.S.I.  /  1/4 HP   115V 60 cycle  1PH   5 AMP.   Vendorlator MFG. Co    Fresno, Calif.  
Thank you for your time.

P.S. More pictures available upon request.

Answer
Hi Alison,
I don't accept soda machine questions, I did answer them for awhile quoting that I am not an expert on the subject of soda machine, and the soda machine people murdered me with poor feedback for just helping them, so I don't bother answering there questions anymore. But I do have an answer for you if you like, I'll scan this sheet of information and values and return it in a email if you want. My email address is Jackpot7@q.com

Thank You

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
