Question
Hi. I have the opportunity to buy a vendo 44 coke machine. The coin mech and the interior bottle rack are gone but the compressor works and the cabinet is in pretty good shape. I would say 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Could you give me a rough estimate of what this might be worth?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Calvin,
This is a very hard question, it would be best for you to check prices of machines like yours that are selling on ebay, you can do a search by typing in vendo 44 vending machine. Doe this have the coin changer mechenism? I just traded my none working vendo coin changer mechenism and 400.00 dollars for a working one! And I had a hard time finding someone who was interested. I would give you a VERY ROUGH guess, 1,200.00 maybe more or less who knows. I do know there parts out there and also reproduction parts. This is a very nice machine to have, I love mine! The coin changer mechenisms are prone to jaming but I can live with that.
Thank you and check ebay for something like this one, to see what it sells for.

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!
