Classic Soda Machines Book

Looks like the book is being released for digitally for a Kindle.

Could come in handy for some people.

I have a digital copy it's a larger file so I would have to zip it to email it.

If someone has the no how it would be a nice to put it in the Downloads section.

Geez, louise, at least update it.   prices from 1999?  And anyone note who the "editor" is.

It's by Jeff Walters and I think he has been MIA for quite a while.  Someone with more info about Jeff please respond.

Yeah I think Jeff is MIA..

the issue of this book being so out of date is been brought up before with all sorts of ideas of how to update it.. in reality without publishing a new book and incurring the cost which many have looked into , it's hard to revise.

one Idea I had is we could just make our own "Updated" price guide kind of like an insert to use with the book if you have one.. still use the images and condition ratings that are in the book but just a reference sheet with new updated 2013 prices.

I bought a Dr Pepper sign off ebay a few weeks back.  After I had payed, I noticed that I sent money to Jeff Walters.  During the time I bought and checked the item, he had changed his user name.

He's still around.  Just looks like he is keeping a low profile.

If I could get the digital copy of the book then I might could make a database of the machines and we could post it here with someone having the means of updating the prices based on sales.

Just a thought.

I think the values could be done on a poll system so we could get an average.

so for example:

Vendo 81 B coke machine
unrestored but complete Value 1800-2000
Fully professional restored $6500-$7000

Vendo 39 Coke machine
Unrestored but complete 600-800
Restored 4500-5000

or something like that? just a thought
