Coca-Cola Vendo 81, 44 & 39 Soda Machine Service Manuals

Here you’ll find free PDF downloads of service manuals for three 1950s Coca-Cola soda machines: Vendo 81, Vendo 44 and the Vendo 39. These are provided by Retro Planet.

Please note that the first part of the manual shows photos of machines that were restored by Vintage Vending Inc. and may not totally match what your original machine may look like. The second part is a copy of an original product manual with schematics, photos and parts lists. We hope you find them helpful.

Please note that Retro Planet and Vintage Vending Inc is no longer in the restoration business and do not sell parts. The manuals are provided simply to help those restoring find some guidance.

Thank you so much for the Vendo 44 Manual. My husband, who had the machine for 30 years, died–and I knew nothing about how to operate the thing. Your free manual has sparked my interest in figuring out how the thing works.

love the 81d manual, but it doesn’t tell how to replace the flourescent bulb, do you remove the lens and do it from the front and how…don’t want to break anything!!!

I looked at one we have in the office. It has been awhile. The glass in front of the bulb should slide up, then you should be able to take it off from the bottom. The florecent bulb is behind the glass and can be changed from there. Hope this helps.
