Eric, You've found one! There were two local malls in Nashville, where I live, that had them in service. But as indoor shopping malls have died out nationally, so have the kiosks.
Wonder what became of all of them that were in service back during the "mall era"?

A little image searching came up with this: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/85230393.jpg The oasis is now closed, but if you search Google images for another oasis, say "belvedere oasis," or go for broke and look for "vw microbus vending machine," you can see them: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/9/13886411_b5c35f7d56.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/14/13886780_6eb159813b_z.jpg?zz=1 https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3361/3492295249_d937ba4591.jpg So if Kyle can't find one, Bert I am willing to take an adventure to some of the Chicagoland oases and see what I can find. But it might take a while until the opportune day arrives (my wife does not let me near those crane/claw games because she *claims* I have a problem, so I'll sneak away). I looked through some of the files at http://www.illinoistollway.com/doing-business/goods-services/contracts-and-awards to see if some contract ward for vending machines was in there, but I did not see anything obvious. > On Oct 26, 2014, at 4:45 AM, Yves Voyer <[email protected]> wrote: > > It would be great to see a picture of these. > Yves, beetle 57 > > Subject: Re: [vintagvw] Abridged summary of [email protected] > - 1 update in 1 topic > From: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 20:02:01 -0400 > To: [email protected] > > I've seen these, there's currently one at the mall downtown in Indianapolis. > I'll try to get manufacturers data off of it later.
