A coin operated vending machine wherein the customer rotates one of a plurality of identical cradle supports to select a particular (soft-drink) can, to spill the can from the cradle, the can then passing to a chute for delivery to the customer. An empty cradle sensing mechanism, in the form of a latch, for preventing rotation of the cradle disengages the latch. When a cradle is empty, the latch carried by it is automatically engaged and prevents rotation of the cradle. When a can is in the cradle, however, the latch is disengaged and the cradle may be rotated by the customer.
