Dr Pepper Selectivend

[zsuttle]

Hi all,
newbie here.
I managed to find what I believe to be a Selectivend 48. Any idea as to the value of these things? This one looks like someone slapped on some sort of aftermarket logo.
Thanks all,
Zach

Dr. Pepper did make one, as did Pepsi and 7up. So it could be either of the 3. Either way, none are real exciting and assume all 3 would be valued about the same. If complete and working maybe $400. Others might say more, some might say less.

Zach,

Does the refrigeration system function in getting cold...?  Is it complete and somewhat vending properly...?
Answering these two/three questions would affect the resale/value.  Assuming all is right, I'll agree with Ray and keep $400 toward to top value. If the condition was much nicer, that could justify an increase as could the aid of an illuminated bottle cap. Which I am uncertain if this may have been an option originally...

No idea if it gets cold or not, it's the typical "cord is cut" scenario. I figured I'd ask as I've never seen one with the bottle cap on the front like that. Any idea what the numbers the cap might mean? It looks pretty aftermarket to me, but I guess you never know.

Totally agree with Jim

In the 1920s and 1930s, Dr. Pepper ran the slogan "Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2 and 4." The slogan encouraged people to drink a Dr. Pepper for quick source of energy. The slogan referred to research of the time that showed people hit a low period around those times of the day.
