    Quoted from Bribo13:

    I brought home a Bally On Beam several weeks ago and all over the bottom board were a bunch ( 46 ) of silver dimes .
    I found this a bit odd not the money part but the Silver dimes .
    This is a 1969 machine and they stopped issuing silver dimes in 1964 . Were silver coins still in circulation and being used in the late 60's and early 1970's
    Is this an unusual occurrence or have others found similar things .

    I picked up a Vendo 44 Coke machine from a Phillips 66 gas station that hadnt been open since 1960.
    The coin changer was full of silver dimes,buffalo nickles and the coin box had a lot of old quarters. The sodas sold for 10 cents a bottle but the coin mech took quarters. The newest coin was 1958.

    Animals had chewed off the line cord. I put a new cord, plugged it in and it was super cold in 10 mins. Thermostat worked perfectly.
    I guess that a 1/5 HP compressor is plenty for a tiny machine in the direct sunlight.

    Quoted from ToucanF16:

    I want your Vendo!

    ebay.com link: Coke machine VMC 44

    Looks pretty good for an original unrestored version.

    Quoted from Tres:

    Found a set of glasses in the back of the cabinet of my STLE. Can't be from the original owner because she was a 90 year old grandma. Might belong to someone at Stern

    Hold on to them you might need them later in life...
