A nicely restored Vendo Junior. It is an ice machine. You will have to make or buy a bottle rack. Also, the cap catcher is missing. Repro cap catchers are around $30.00. No shipping. Asking $800.00 or will trade for an unrestored MS 80 Sunoco Script Top pump. If interested let me know and I can email you some pictures. Thanks, Brian

Unless I am mistaken, the Vendo Junior was only offered in Coca-Cola.

You may be confusing my machine with something else. The Vendo Junior is Coke only to the best of my knowledge. It is a pre war Westinghouse Jr. with a spin top lid. I would love to post a picture, but there is no option in this area of the site.

From sodamachines.com:

The Vendo Junior is nothing more than a Vendo coin operated top mounted on a Westinghouse Junior cooler. Early versions were ice cooled whereas a later version utilized electric refrigeration. The latter being more desirable among collectors. A caster set was available as optional equipment.
The Junior Model is the most popular and sought after of the Westinghouse Coolers. The Junior came in two version: an ice version pictured here and the rarer electric version which usually had a stainless steel liner to hold the chilled water that cooled the bottles. These coolers were exclusively manufactured for Coca-Cola. Vendo produced a coin-operated top for the Westinhouse Junior and dubbed the model a Vendo Junior.

Thanks for the help. One of you guys with a slew of Sunoco Script Top pumps should work out a trade with me. This machine is pretty cool. I would also trade for an old MX Maico, Bultaco, or maybe an Ossa.

Any action at $700? I would also trade for a WW2 era Snap On top toolbox.

Nice Vendo Jr!

I guess I just bought the more desireable version last weekend. Mine has the compressor for the electrical cooling and the casters.

I advertised a pump on Craigslist once. For Sale, blah blah blah.... $300.00. I got questions from, "Will you deliver it at that price?" to "Would you take 75 bucks for it?"...... I dont sell on Craigslist anymore either.
