I have this machine thats been in my family. I am wanting to restore it but I want to know what I have. The Model#F83B5W Serial#F301125307 NO. M.E.896. If somone could tell me the Year and any other info that anyone might have.
Thanks
By the way it is not for sale so please dont ask!!
Well, there are lots and lots of seriously informed Coca-Cola collectors on Collectors Weekly, but to my eye it looks very similar to the Vendo V-83, made between 1946 and 1955, which you can see at this URL:

Your version has a white top and a few other minor variations, but they look close, right?
By the way, Soda-Machines.com is a great site, so perhaps an email to Jim Beschen, who is listed on the contact page as the site's owner, would get you your answer.
Good luck!
