What Customers Say about Soda City Restorations
Invaluable help with vintage square top
I purchased a vintage Vendo 190d square top vending machine sight unseen and had no idea where to begin. Ray’s guidance was instrumental in helping get this machine restored. He instructed me in the proper way to remove the cooling deck and the vend stack. He had some good ideas for not only cleaning the machine but making the inside look brand new. Ray was always available especially after hours and on weekends, the only I had to work on this project. I now have the fully functioning and clean vintage vending machine I always wanted. Thanks Ray!!

Vendo 39 Converted to Can Vending
We are starting a full restore on a Vendo 39 for a customer. We just got the machine in, and I thought we would share what we found inside. Somewhere in the past, someone had rigged it up to vend cans, which can normally be tricky on this model. We will be putting it all back to original during the restoration, but this idea was simple and rather clever.
