About the Item

This Classic coke vending machine is one of our most popular products Immensely popular and increasingly rare, the Vendo 81 is the ultimate in American vintage products and this model, originally produced to vend bottles of Dr. Pepper, is so very rare compared to the Coke version that we haven't even seen one for at least four years. This example has been fully restored inside and out, including the addition of a modern refrigeration unit which runs on a UK power supply. The subtle green livery stands in Stark contrast to the pillar box red of the Coca Cola model. Vibrant, solid and reliable, one of the major attractions of this cool machine lies in its versatility. Bottles of beer, a variety of fizzy drinks and even quarter bottles of champagne can be chilled in its refrigerated interior. The machine vends on original dimes, which are supplied by us. Just pop a dime in the slot, throw the lever, grab your bottle and pop the CAP on the built-in opener. Own a little piece of American history and feel just like The Fonz every time you use it! Our skilled engineers go as far as they possibly can to bring these machines back to how they were when they left the factory, building on the high standards that we first set in the 1950s. The cabinet is shot-blast back to bare metal and its liveries are repainted by an experienced Classic car sprayer. The shelves are re-anodised and the vending and coin mechanisms are removed and reconditioned. The refrigeration unit is either fully serviced or replaced, and the chrome parts are sent to London chromers. Our history with these machines stretches back over half a century – our founder, Reginald Waldersmith, was installing them on US Air Force bases back in the 1950s, not long after their manufacture. Being a relatively new invention at the time put the Coke Machines in unrivaled demand, and Reginald himself was known to occasionally share a drink with the GIs. We’ve been selling these machines since 1962, so know a thing or two about our products! Our showroom will gladly assist you with any questions you may have before or after you purchase any Games Room Company equipment.
