Ok Thk you for responding.
That paint job and machine are absolutely beautiful this guy is very talented!
Thanks James! Thanks for viewing!😊
@@sodatimerestorations my god this is a very elegant electric/mechanical coin operated coca cola bottle dispenser and built in 1951? too bad a bottle of coca cola does NOT cost 10 cents today 🙁
I have a complete, but decrepit Cavalier C51. While not the same, the core elements of the restoration are the same as the Vendo 39. This series has been invaluable to show me what all will be involved in the project. I can't thank you enough!
Vendo 39 F39B5 K FA11142 Houston, Texas Beautifully restored!!!
Is there anyone in Houston you can recommend who does these types of restorations?
It has been a long 9 months and every video was absolutely worth the wait. I enjoyed the series very much. Don't keep us waiting to long for the Vendo 81 series to start. I'm really excited about that one.
Vendo 81 series getting closer to production release! Hope to have series one out next week!😊
Great videos!! At first, I thought, what is Joe Namath doing restoring vending machines!!
Lol ! Thanks Hope you enjoyed the series!
That’s a first on a comparison with Joe! Lol
Great guy! Would like to see him work on a Coke Machine!😀
Hell yea a guy does a series just before I happen across one. My google search lead me to video #2 and I had to come see the finally. Time to head to video one and mess with mine! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Zach! Hope the video series helps ! Working on new series this weekend on Vendo 81!

THANK YOU MARC!!!..... is what we ALL are saying at this point, sir!!! You have been a superb guide through this break-down and re-build of a classic VENDO 39 machine!!!! I, myself, cannot wait for your next tutorial video of the future, original Coca Cola machine that you will be walking us through, sir. Marc, you should be working for COCA COLA, yourself.....teaching those people the art of breaking down and rebuilding their machines. You are a Wizard at this, sir!!!! Again, Thank You so much for this great 14 part video of a Coke machine breakdown, repair, and rebuild, sir. We'll ALL be waiting for your next video series to come out on RUclips!!!! Take care, sir. See ya!!!!!!
Part 15, not Part 14, sir.
Sorry about that.
(15 part), not (14 part) is what l really meant to write. Sorry about that, also.
15 is named “vendo 39 series Finale”
😊
Thanks again for watching the series!
And also the kind words!😊
Hopeful to one day watch you do a vendo 44. Got my fingers crossed!
Thanks for the tip on how to disengage the coin mechanism at 3:52 !!!
Got my first vendo 39 today
Send us some pictures in the comments!love to see it!😊
Thank you so much for putting all of this on RUclips, so helpful and informative. I just bought my first vendo 39 and it is a 1949 model. It’s in great shape and appears to be all original, but it only says “ have a coke “ on the sides 🤔

Thanks for the kind words! Has your machine had the top painter white?
@@sodatimerestorationsof course thank you! No sir it’s still all red. I bought it from an older gentleman that got it from his mother that worked at the old pharmacy where it was originally in use. It was converted to a 10 cent machine somewhere in there but still has the original 5 cent decal on the coin door.
That’s cool ! Send us pictures as you progress on the machine!😊
Great job Marc and Family! Awesome.
Thanks Ron ! Glad you like the series! Good things coming!
Marc, truly great series! This is a goldmine of knowledge for anyone who wants to work on one of these machines. Wonderful tips and tricks all along the way! Great camera-work and explanations! I'm currently restoring my V-39 and frequently reference your episode that corresponds to what I am currently working on. I just finished my initial blocking and am prepping to shoot hi-build primer. So, I just wrapped up your Part 6 and am proceeding to your Part 7. Based on your input, I have decided to go with your vinyl decal masking approach of painting the embossed letters instead of hand-painting. That probably saved me a lot of agony! 🙂I have already watched the entire series, so that I could plan ahead. Again, thank you SO MUCH for this series!!
For your records, my V-39 has serial number FA 3038 and is located in Texas.
Dennis glad the series is helping ! Send us some pictures of your machine when you get finished!
Thanks Marc
Thanks very much for this series. It has been extremely informative. And gives me the confidence to maybe start restoration on my machine. F304 49186 in Kansas City
Thank you !
Hey, but I have an opportunity to buy a vendo 39 for $500. Needs painting and a new power cord. It has all the original parts and body is in overall good shape. This is my first machine so i was wondering, does that sound like a good price?
Yes that’s a great price ! If compressor is working and getting cold , has the drum, and it takes money !
I have paid double that!😊
I think I have a 1951 Vendo 39 Coke Machine, but that crank handle is stuck. I can't rotate it counter clockwise to open the door. Is there some trick to make it open? If I put a dime in the crank handle will crank down like you are getting a coke, but when I try to rotate it counter clockwise to open it it hit something, doesn't hardly move that way. but it will crank down with a dime. Do have any idea or advice? Thank you.
Good evening! They can get that way!
So you’re not able to open coin door ?
If it gets stuck , take a rag and cover crank handle and use a hammer and tap it counter clockwise until it gets unstuck! I would then take crank off and soak overnight in a lubricant!
That did it! I got it to turn, I'm in. This will be fun to get it cleaned up and hopefully get it in the living room so dad can use it every day. Thanks for the help. @@sodatimerestorations
@@Kerrigan1000 Good deal ! Glad you got it!
Will the Vendo 39 fit the small 187ml champagne bottles?
Let me get a good OD measurement for you this evening!
And will also check for who I know in that area for restoration
2 3/8 looks like the bottle measurements
Hole size 2 1/2
7 3/8 tall
@@sodatimerestorations this is helpful, thank you! Also, great restoration!

it is mod # F398510 ser# FA11292
Send some pictures to our Facebook page !
@sodatimerestorations I would, but haven't had the platform since April. Maybe a messaging way...
Can you ship a restored coke machine to nc?
I have and the damage chance seems to be high !
