Comments
The 962-L is a fully automatic Pre-Mix Vendor that was available as one, two or three flavors. This is considered by Victor to be part of their "Slimline" Design Series. It's interesting to note that the flavor selection is made by inserting the coin(s) into the coin slot that corresponds to the flavor of choice. The 962-L holds nine 5-gal. or a combination of 5 and 10 gal. product containers. Literature mentions a similar model, 962-M but without a photo. Our guess is the "L" designated an illuminated sign whereas the "M" indicated the model had a standard marquee. The price reflects this guess as well. The 962-L is a two selection while the 963-L is a three selection model. Literature states a single selection model is available but didn't list the model number; we'll assume it would be a 961-L as well as 961-M. This model is the largest of this Pre-Mix Series; the smaller version is the Victor 642-L .
