Kim Anderson with VMC 56 Prototype

Most soda machine hobbyist now are aware that Vendo made the V-56.
The machine shown above is one of the least 6 unembossed prototypes
made by Vendos' sister company at the time, Vendorlator. This machine is
evidence that VMC apparently considered making a VMC 56 to sell to soft
drink companies other than Coca-Cola. And as people in the hobby know,
for whatever reason, VMC never went into production with this idea.
