Restoring America...1 machine at a time!


« on: November 19, 2013, 10:40:57 pm »

Going to an Auction this weekend and wanted to see if anyone is interested in this machine. Dont know what its worth but looks pretty cool.


They also have a coke machine to be auctioned off as well.

You know, I was just looking at that ad not 30 minutes ago, thinking about posting it.

Great minds think alike, I guess.  biggrin

The Coke machine looks like a CS-96 modded for Pepsi. I don't see the original "Drink Coca-Cola" embossing, did they remove it?

I'm trying to figure out how they did away with the Coca-Cola embossing on the "Pepsi" machine. If they hacked that door to get it off, that's a shame.

The embossing is under the sign.

The Coca Cola embossing is not a large script on that machine, so it doesn't take a large sign to cover it up.
My thinking too is that it's still under the sign.

I find this brand conversion interesting. The distributor rebranded the machine Pepsi, but after money is inserted the "Have A Coke" lens lights up. I guess they didn't have a "Have A Pepsi" lens handy.

In the very first picture, I couldn't see the fasteners holding the Pepsi sign to the machine. They did a good job hiding the embossing.

As to the lens, maybe the were hesitant to bolt a Pepsi logo to that. The Pepsi logo looks like late 60's into mid 70's to me.

What is a fair price to pay for this coke machine if its complete and in working order? Also, who knows bowling machines and whats a fair price for it as well?

I would absolutely LOVE to have a bowling machine like that, but they never come available in my area!  I see them all the time back east and in the upper Midwest, but not in NM.  Have no clue on good price...depends on how bad one wants it.  My 5 kids would enjoy one for sure!!

Here's one that has been for sale for awhile in my area. I too would love to have one but don't have the room (or live in a firehouse as this one seems to be in).
