Vendo 56 Square Top pepsi machine

Does anyone know if the racking in this can be converted from bottle only, to a bottle/can combination?

you may have bottles or cans in this model, but not both at the same time...read this post were I converted a bottle to a can machine, it will work on your model too.

Looks a lot like the machine outside of Richmond???  Did you just pick it up?

[Jonathan816]

Yup -picked up outside Richmond, for the price with the manual coin mech I figured it was a no brainer.

No, entirely different racks...Cans are convenient, bottles have cool factor, now bottles or cans  in a machine with a glass bottle-door also a big plus on the cool factor!

PS... don't even try to pry on that 3-D Pepsi cap sign, it will snap like a thin icicle, it's held on the face of the ribbed aluminum panel by blind rivets that can be pushed from the back side of the sign once you pop the sign-panel off from the inside ( just in case you get curious)

Thanks - I appreciate the info.   The 3-D sign needs to be replaced as it's cracked.   I'm sure it may a pain to replace.    I just wish I had a pic of another pepsi machine like this so I could figure out what color it should really be.   May just do traditional pepsi blue.

Pepsi used that light blue toward the late 50's -early 1960's. May be a bit faded, but original paint

thanks - looks that way... once I took it apart a lot of the light blue was almost perfect inside of course as it was protected from the weather.
