What a great promotional film. Only the 1960's could produce this type of pitch. Squarely honed to get you profits....boy selling these machines in the hey-day must have been great. Quality went into things.....now it a can on a shelf...of endless shelves of endless cans....they need to bring things like this back to get people to buy the product. I was born in the wrong era
The Retro Decade Revival Project will help bring them back. Our goal is to bring real entertainment, true talents, pure originality and variety, old school, and more back into the public mainstream, starting with the 1980s. What you've said about selling a product makes perfect sense.
Coca-Cola should have hired Don Draper of madmen fame to sell their product! I'm fixing up a Cavalier model 64 G 1965 square top model that still runs! Its going in the man cave! Ah the pause that refreshes! Mexican COKE !
The few of these I saw in the wild (I was born too late) never were lit up. Did the light make too much heat? Did owners pull the bulbs to save on power bills? Did they just not replace the bulbs when they burned out? Who knows.
( This is Tom, not Sandra.) The man narrating this video sure sounds like the late actor, John Forsythe. Is it him narrating this video? ( John Forsythe- - star of the 1960's TV show, "Bachelor Father". )
well you have to keep in mind how much less things cost back in the 1950s - 1960s. a soda machine on average cost around $3000.00 on the wholesale level now. that same vending machine would cost you around $270.00 in 1955 or $317.00 in 1965. so long story short you sell around 2700 - 3170 bottles of coke to make back your money. if you sell around 30 bottles of coke a day you can pay off the machine in around 106 days

A dime a bottle in 70s quarter a bottle of Coke
My Vendo V-63 works just fine still today :)
thisisunreal1 I have one !!
@@nashalfredo5839 I just bought one on eBay for 685 looking to put it in a barbershop
What a much more simpler time. I just picked up a V63 model. Looking forward to many years with it.
I just picked up a Vendo HA56 from 1970 in good shape, can't wait to get it going ❤
Wow, spray painting without a respirator.
Little did we know
At least they had a water trap for overspray.
That was progressive for the time and makes a big difference.
I wish they'd still build them like that now day's. ❤❤❤
Good documentation

Just picked up a v90 model. The compressor works. The coin mechanism is working. Need to replace the solenoid for the release mechanism.
This goes so hard in 2020
Great in 2024
Baby boom era post-WW2 age

Who was the narrator? Was it John Forsythe (Bachelor Father)? It sure sounded like him.
Hey Tom, this is Rap not man. Yes that’s Mr. Forsythe narrating.
The few of these I saw in the wild (I was born too late) never were lit up.
Did the light make too much heat?
Did owners pull the bulbs to save on power bills?
Did they just not replace the bulbs when they burned out?
Who knows.

Yea sir, that is one John Forsythe narrating this particular film. He was an extremely versatile man in his day.

@@rapman5791, thank you for verifying that for me, sir!!!!
got to sell a lot to pay for the machine at $0.10 a bottle

Inflation means that is actually not that cheap. Also there’s nothing stopping you from grabbing multiple bottles for free.
America went suburban post WW2 baby boom ager
