Looks almost like the Westinghouse that still sitting outside my parents house (and my first machine - freshman year in high school! ).  Mine is a WB102-B4-D - don't strain too hard, there is not one pictured here at SMC and Steve Ebner's book doesn't even show it.  Both places have machines that are close.  Mine is from 68 or 69 and has white at the top of the sides (looks like yours has a newer sticker put on).  You can put cans or bottles in it - there are adjusters in the back to adjust each column for depth.

(In case any of you are wondering why I do not submit a photo is because it is fugly.  It was all over the place, it's second to the last home before me was a frat house.  No sign and the front small door (coin door?) is all beat up.)

Wow $36! Great bargain!

Crew,
Would this sign fit for areplacement?
I have no idea, but it looks somewhat similar. What do all you guys think?

Good find, but I think this sign is not square enough.  Can't tell for sure since I'm at work still (shhhh ).  It will close before I get home, but this person is in the same city I live.  I might have to contact the person and see what else they might have '> !

Checked the dimensions that I have and the spot is 18 1/4" tall and 22 1/2" wide.  I emailed the person to see if they may have some other signs or machines '> .
Thanks Kito, my wife is going to kick my

Jim - need to add Kito's "mooning smiley" to the std list...

Kito - how did you add it inline without it being on the std SMC list?

Actually Dr. Galaga used it first in the reply right above mine.
I just right-clicked on it, chose properties to see the http: address for it and then entered it in here as an "image".

Today after work I stopped by his house to look at his machine signs.  This is an older gentleman who worked for Coke and Pepsi over 40 years total.  Started off running a route and did every other job up to bottling plant manager.  He didn't have any signs that I needed but he is going to check with his son or son in-law since he has some more of the signs.  He had a nice little weathered Cavalier 64 - dull paint, but beautiful shape (he thinks he'll hold on to it), some coolers and more signs and some bottles.  Thought I saw some embossed 10 oz. (why I PMed you Markito) but they ended up being smaller.  You could tell that he wanted to get rid of some of the stuff, but also was not sure if he wants to get rid of it.  We/he talked for about an hour in his garage about the bottling business and I could tell that he missed doing it.  

Just thought I would share.

Oh, BTW, my wife was worried when I told her I was going to check this stuff out.  She said that she would have kicked my if I brought home the 64! '>
