Question
We have a National Vendors Inc., model # 10C, serial number 1004058 snack vending machine.  The coin mechanism needs work & the lock probably needs to be replaced. We found some of the original price stickers inside the machine. Condition wise - on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd say it's a 6.

We are thinking of selling the machine but do not know what to ask.

Answer
I wrote direct and sent you an attachment with the following:
Hi JoAnne,

Well here's what I have for you, "See Attached" It's the best I can do but I think it's real good and right in the ball park. As you can see, they may be different manufacturers but they look very similar to each other. This also indicates to me that the year of yours is most likely close to 1957. The value on the one attached is $180.00. My best guess is that yours would be the same. I hope this is of some help to you.
Thank You

Hi JoAnne,
Well I am not real good on vending machines, there are thousands of them, if it's real old it might be in one of the books I have. Is it possible for you to email me a photo of it, so I know what the model 10C look like? If so, my address is jackpot7@ix.netcom.com Also you can try watching ebay for one, but let me know if you can email a photo.
Thank You
Sincerely
