I was at an auction and talking with an old friend.  I mentioned that I was looking for old pop machines.  He said that he had one in his shop that was a nickle machine.  I started praying for a Cav 72 or and 81.  It was a nickle machine, but it took three of them.  By the paint job, you can tell it was originally coke.  It had some pull-tab Hawaian Punch cans in it that had leeked all over.  It was one that I had on my "want" list so I took it.  Plus, the price was right--$50.

I'm going to restore it.  First, I need to clean up the sign to see what it is.  It is a light up, but they painted over it and put a pepsi decal on it.  I haven't plugged it in yet, but it is complete as far as I can tell.  Definately a late summer project.
