Coke Vendo 56 Square-top Vintage Glass Bottle Vending Machine Fridge
Negotiable
Hi,
I am looking for Expressions of Interest for my fully functional Original Coke Vendo 56 Square-top Vintage Glass Bottle Vending Machine Fridge.
This machine is an Australian machine, meaning it runs on Australian Voltage and uses 4x Australian 20 cent pieces to actually still vend. It's decommissioning also pre-dates Coca-Cola Amatil's acquisition of state based Coke Franchisees, so is not subject to CCA's asset register and possible seizing as stolen property, unlike newer models.
The machine is all original and chills and vends. It would be prefect for restoring or leaving as is to enjoy the patina.
It is rare to find a machine with 100% all the internals. Original shelves, coin mechanism, vending mechanism. It even has the outdated change giver that gave change as 1, 2 or 5 cent pieces back when a bottle of Coke was so cheap, you could get change back from a 20 cent piece. Oh, and it still has the original lock and key.
Most of these machines were stripped for spare parts, crushed, or sometimes given to Coke factory employees who would gut or modify them to server as regular fridges etc. Often one will come up for sale in a modified, gutted, or rusted out form.
It took me years to find a parts complete machine that actually all still worked. Obviously I use mine to vend bottes of soft drink, but you can also vend beer bottles. Most of the more complete machines that pop up here occasionally tend to be American imports, but this was a local machine out of the Thebarton based "Adelaide Bottlers" pre CCA. It has been repainted by the factory as the slogan "Enjoy Coke" was not in used back when these machines came out (that was "Drink" instead of "Enjoy" and more than likely it used the dynamic ribbon Coca-Cola logo instead of "Coke"), but it was common to refurbish these metal machines like cars and reuse them over and over until phased out.
All communication please do through Gumtree messaging. Please do not ask me what I want for the machine. You need to bid what you are wiling to pay, and I'll tell you yes or no. I honestly love this machine, and as you can see by some of the photos, and I have a larger collection of retro and vintage Coke Point of Sale advertising that goes very nicely with an authentic Coke machine.
I also will not accept any abuse from unsuccessful bidders and people who want me to tell them what I want for it. I do not NEED to sell it, I just want to see what I can get for it, and then decide based on the bid ONLY. If you make a bid, and I say no, no amount of vitriol will change my mind. Also, Cash only on pickup.
Oh, and of course this is PICKUP ONLY. Sorry, but I don't think Australia Post has a big enough envelope. Obviously you will need a van or trailer. Once I find a tape measure I will supply actual dimensions, but from memory its about 1.3m high.
