Sorry For any Inconvenience.
Understand that most of us here on this forum work with newer machines and not vintage models. But that being said, I think your machine is a Vendo not a
Vendorlator. Vendorlator merged with Vendo in 1956. Your machine looks much newer than 1956. A lot of Vendo mfg#'s start with 01c. The ID label inside your machine looks like Vendo labels still in use today. Your picture cuts off the right hand side of the label, but on newer models there is box there that says "Basic Unit" and then a number in there like 220, 407, etc. that is the basic model number your machine. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I haven't owned a machine like that in 30 years or more.
RS - Thank you for the response and the information, very much appreciated. Apologies about the image - am including another image of the label but still not obvious to me the model or basic unit from the label. The only other label I can find is on the refrigeration unit. The reason I am trying to determine the model is to obtain parts to fix the handle locking mechanism (see image) - is there another way to go about the fix? I have taken to a couple locksmiths in town, but they weren't able to help.
Again, thank you for your response and information!
RS - thank you for your response and information, very much appreciated. I took another picture of the tag (attached) but still not immediately obvious to me the model or basic unit. The main reason I am trying to find the model is to find parts to fix the handle locking mechanism (see image) - is there another way to go about it? Are these common enough to reference other models for the parts needed? I have taken the assembly to a couple locksmiths with no success. Any help is appreciated.
Again, thanks for your response.
What's wrong with your lock handle? I can't tell much from the picture but it looks like all you need is a pop-out lock, also called barrel lock, vending machine lock, Ace lock. They come in 2 sizes, long & short, 1 is for snack machines & 1 is for soda machines. I uploaded a pic of one, any vending machine parts supplier should carry them.
Also there is a post on this forum about how to change/install one.
