Hello Guys: Here are a few machines that I just finished. The Jacobs 56 was a real challange. I bet the service men hated these back in the day. It was a real challenge to get the sold out light to work with the flag and coin mech as was the nickle light to get to work with the mech. Everything works as it should on this. I did create some new parts while doing this machine, so if anyone is restoring one of these in the near future and need something just give me a call.

I am having a little trouble with my sold out flag (on my Pepsi 56) as well. I have to extend the small wire that touches the contact. Did you have that issue with yours as well?

I had to rework things in that area. Everything is very touchy, and has to be set just right.

Hi Rod,
Is the Coke Crossing guard an original? I can not see (in the picture) if the right foot is dated or not.

Nice work as always Rod. Is it a keeper or for a customer?

The policeman is a reproduction with an original base. The Jacobs 56 I did for a friend that is putting a collection of machines together.

Beautiful machine Rod. Would love to have one of those, but they are rare as hens teeth around here.

Hi Rod,
I am starting the tear down process for my 56 in two weeks. I have never done a Jacobs 56. Is there anything besides the sold out flag that I need to pay special attention to?
I have restored about 6 or 7 roundtops all Vendo or Cavalier.
