Those are nicknamed the bow front coolers. They were produced by both Westinghouse and cavalier. They were contracted by Coke and both manufacturers had to follow strict guidelines set by Coke. Because of this they were only made for coke. Also all these two manufacturers made were machines and coolers for Coke. They are good machines. If you are buting a machine to use I suggest finding a "dry cooler". This means they are cooled by air like other machines. The wet coolers use circulating water to cool the bottles and can be quite a hassle.

Answer#1: Yes,

Answer#2: Very$$$...."ChaChing"

A FL Jacobs Pepsi "lightup" model will run you between $1k-3k minimum, unless you pry one out of the cold dead fingers of a blindmans widow..so to speak '<img'>
