Thanks everyone! Machine needs to be restored, either by me or someone else. Has a very poor, and I'm being nice, paint job on it. Inside it very clean though. Haven't decided yet if it's a keeper, sell it as is, or restore it then sell.

It's funny because it was a CL find, a good 2 hours away. I found it Friday night. I had plans and also had family in town so I  was being pulled in a couple of different directions. Once I was able to lock down the machine by phone I needed to make the trip because I was "busy" on Saturday. Left my house about 8PM and returned home about 1AM. Usually I can chase a machine down where I'm gone for a few hours and nobody misses me. Because it was a Friday evening I did have to tell a few people because I broke all plans to go buy this machine. Everyone to a word said I was "crazy" to drive 4 hours total on a Friday night just to pick up a Pepsi machine.

I didn't try to explain because unless you have the passion as we do, they will never understand.

Well 4 hours is better than the 12 hours I was planning on. I also saw the machine on Friday night.

Glad you got it!
