Comments
The Vendo Decapper was a mechanical marvel for its day. This machines was completely automatic once the correct change was inserted into the coin slot. The Decapper is actually a "Cup" machine but not in the "Pre-Mix" category. This machine actually removes the cap from the soda bottle and dispenses the contents into a cup for the customer. Approximately 250 were manufactured but quickly dropped from the Vendo Line of Coolers due to high costs and lack of interest from vendors.
