For your consideration is this is a beautiful \"Vendorlator 27\" Coke machine in excellent condition. It was fully restored professionally in 2009, which is why in looks almost new. Take a look at the photographs and you can see that it would be an excellent addition to your game room or man cave. These machine were manufactured in 1949 and used at gasoline stations and small grocery stores. The particular model was made with wheels and a handle (similar to a hand truck) so they could be set outside during the day and then wheeled inside when the business closed. The machine was originally made for the 6 1/2 oz. coke but the new 8 oz. bottles or 7 1/2 oz cans work fine. The coin mechanism is fixed so that it will dispense the cokes without putting in any money (dimes). However, the coin mechanism is in place and can be turned on if desired. The unit will hold 27 bottles of coke or cans in the cylinder and has a cooling rack for additional bottles. The machine works perfectly and looks fantastic. Brings back memories of a simpler time. These machines are pretty rare and you don\'t find them very often.
