I made the 40 minute drive to pick up this Cornelius slider today. I found it on Craigslist, needs some work, but for $50 I figured I'd get it. It has a Coca Cola button on the front and had a faded 70's sticker across the sign. I was hoping to find the Coca Cola stylestar behind the sticker. As I removed it from the right side I saw an "i"...

That may be. It can't be both. Although I just picked it up today my thoughts were to do it as a Coke originally. Now I am wondering if I should keep the sign and get a matching disc or vice versa.

It is missing the coin box. Has the rack, but I have to figure out how to get it in over the rollers. some minor surface rust, top laminate needs replaced, cord is shot, but it cools.

Agreed!
Seems like the Coke signs are difficult to find (finding a Pepsi button my be even more difficult). I'm surprised that Fun-Tronics hasn't reproduced them yet. |

I figured I'd go the route of whichever I found first. The light up sign in the back is kind of cool, but don't know if I'd find the button on the front for Pepsi. The Coke sign on the back might come around first and then I could just swap it and get rid of the Pepsi one. Oooh, that was confusing.

I sure wish I had the sign for the back of mine, but I want a Coke one.

Dan, the metal laminate sheet on my woodgrain lid was coming off the top too, but I think you just need to remove it, sand the old glued sides down and then rea epoxy it again (or whatever glue stuff you should use). Ask Josh (Loman4ec), he used to have one and one time he told me what to do to reconnect the laminate top.
