Alternative uses for vintage soda machines

I just saw on eBay a use for a Coca-Cola machine that I have never seen before:

It has a safe in it!





Now I'm sure most of us agree that it is sad when a perfectly good vintage soda machine is put out of circulation, I do actually enjoy seeing what people can do with them (hopefully they were beyond repair).

So here is my "Museum of Soda Machines with Alternative Uses". I will post a few more and then please feel free to add more as you find them.

Though most of these have been on eBay, their auctions have since ended:

Coca-Cola Entertainment Center

Coca-Cola Couch
I know many of you have seen these and I think it was MoonDawg who said that he used to make 'em.
Here is just one example of one that I found on eBay:

I have also heard of people making them into gun cabnets. I thought about doing this to a Cavalier 64 that I parted out but when it was time to move it went to the scrap yard.

Just deposit a dime and a gun drops down? '>
But seriously.

I'm sure we've all seen the large coke ccolers that have been turned into bars and tables, but I don't have time at this moment to track down photos of those.

Well the couch looks cool with the cap catchers in front of the armrests.  Unfortunately he cut the large Coke letters out of the front of the machine, and left the two small sets of letters on the back.
       Good thing I don't have a picture of this, but I heard of a plummer who was fixing up his garage for the Saturday night poker games.  He had what looked like a Vendo 83 in the corner, but when his friends opened the door it was a working urinal.    

Whoa, talk about the pause that refreshes!  

I don't even want to hear about those same guys sitting down on the spin top. '>

That is so funny! Thanks for the great story MD!

My son wants me to convert a V83 into a entertainment center for all his electronic systems. It is on my "to do" list.
