Question -          Hi Rodger, do not quite understand the format here, hope this info gets to you!  Even though the #'s are on a metal plate, there may be some missing.  Looks like the model # is H110  F; serial # is
       103513  8  51.  I think the manufacturer was VENDORLATOR MFG. CO.,
Fresno, Calif.  Hopefully this will help you in "our" quest.  Thanks, Vicki

Question -
I have an old coin operated Pepsi vending machine. I
think this machine holds the original small glass bottles....and, is now perfect for "Little King Ale" beer bottles!  The model & serial no's. plate is on it, but the machine is stored behind other "stuff".  Looks like the model # starts with  B110 or maybe 8110.  It still works and is in excellent condition; but, does need some cosmetic painting.

Any idea of the value and where best to market it?
Thanks much!   

Hope you are having a great vacation!  In the mean-time, I am trying to get someone to pull the machine out so I can get the actual Model and Serial numbers, which might make it a bit easier for you to research.

Answer
Hi Vicki,
  Most of all my research books are on coin operated games but I do have some information on other items. I can't find what your pepsi machine looks like based on your model number. I have information on model numbers starting with a V, like the vendo 35. The early vendo's are collectable. Not knowing what yours looks like and only having the model number is like finding a pin in a hay stack to me. I have search ebay for auctions based on your model number and found none. There is I think a book out on just soda machines but I don't have that available or know where to find it right now. If your pop machine has square corners at top it is a later model, if the top has round corners like the vendo then it is worth some money. Either way you machine could be worth from $300.00 to $3,500.00. Looks like I might have to buy that new soda machine book that just came out so I can identify the different models based on just the model numbers. Again if you are able to email a photo please do and I'll keep trying to locate what your pop machine looks like based on just the model number. Sorry about the delay in getting to you, I bought a new anti virus program and when I went to install it, it turned into a disaster, I had to have a computer technician fix it after I got done trying to install this new program over and old one, it was a mess.
Thank You
