Produced
for roughly five years the Vendo 80 is a great looking machine. The early versions
were all red, and later versions were painted with the typical two-tone paint
scheme - White top - Red Bottom. The Vendo 80 is a great machine that is
almost identical in size to the V-39 and the V-81. Also, some machines came with
textured aluminum plates on both sides of the coin door. The absence of
a crank handle tells us that it came equipped with an electric coin mechanism
that required no mechanical assistance to vend sodas.. It came embossed
with "Drink Coca-Cola in Bottles on the top. Down below it was embossed "Vendo"
in lower left. On the sides the words "Have a Coke" were painted on. |
