 I picked up a machine off Ebay that was made by Champion Manufacturing.  I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these.  It's a slider type with the coin mech. in the vending area.  It's Pepsi blue with large bottle cap decals.  I'll post a picture when I get it cleaned up. |

 Hmm... Does it run off of sparkplugs?   '> |

 Hey, that's an idea for all these gutted sliders and cold boxes--Coke machine derby.
 A friend thought that Champion made refrigeration coolers/freezers--commercial type.

 Lulu - how about a pic now?  Never heard of a champion.  Seeing might help spark <<yes an intentional pun>> some memories. |

 It would be interesting to see what your machine looks like. |

 I'll try to get pics posted in the next couple of days.  I'm in the middle of rehabing a rental that I'm going to put up for sale. |

 I haven't had a chance to do anything with this yet, but thought I'd post a couple of pictures.  The stainless rack and insides are in really nice shape. |

 Cool... like the integrated coin mech, return and bottle opener.  Does it run?  Looks like you'e going to have a bit of chrome work to do.... |
