What do you guys know about this configuration? My mom is a Dr Pepper drinker from WAY back, and I thought it would be a hoot to see if I could reproduce this.
(Yes, I know I'm insane. I am planning on doing something like this with my first restoration. But it is sooooo cool!)

Shelly,
I think that is what is known as the DP Queen Anne machine. Might be difficult to duplicate exactly as it has these ornate corner pieces and legs - not to mention the marquee sign; however, you could certainly do the color scheme.

I think the hardest part would be to find that sign. Perhaps you could do Dr Pepper, just not that one? Something more like the dark red Dr Pepper color. I would think you could come up with a more "traditional" looking sign too.

That Sign is just not my cup of tea. I'm with Terry I just love that early DP Light green with red bricks. Much more classy and if you are not going for a true historical resotoration that's what I would do. I'm seriously considering it on my Jacobs Pepsi .

Does anybody repop the signs/ornate pieces for the Queen Annes ? Not that I would try and re-create one, more likely would be to try and find one unrestored and go from there.
What do those sell for usually ? both restored and unrestored price.. (and how does that compare with a standard V-63 in coke red for example)
I hope one day to own a V-63.. a Queen Anne would just be a bonus !

Frankly, I like the light green and the bricks, too, however, the Queen Anne logo IS my mom's cup of tea. So, I'm going to see if I can find a few of the parts (or find something that would substitute fairly nicely), then work through the local DP bottler / office here. They might be able to find that image for me.
If I can just get a good digital image of that thing, I'll FIND a way to get it on plexiglass.
On a positive note, my dad is a mason, so maybe I could "talk" myself and my parents into the whole bricks idea.

Glen is spot on. I'll add haven't seen a QA for sale in quite awhile. Anybody know production numbers? Must not have been many.

Well everyone has as a opinion on what they like and what they don't , Myself I do like those machines.
As to changing a vendo 63 over, It can be done
and as far as the marquee that can be done.
the one I did for my Vernors was a little over $100
and yes it was worth it, And yes I may do it again.
Now this would not be a original Queen Ann
and not worth as much as the original,
But who care's, You did it for for your
mom . OH Yeah for those ornamental piece's
check out VanDyke's they have a web site also
www.vandykes.com and some cool stuff.

The story goes...Dr.pepper had around 800 or so of these machines made for the retiring folks with the Dr. Pepper Co. Kind of a retirement gift. The remaining machines found their way out in the field, as part of the vending services offered by Dr. Pepper.
I have been fortunate and have owned 2 of these machines. I sold the 1st one, all original, for $2200. It needed to be restored but had all the castings and perfect light up sign. The second one we have, is also original, complete, and running, being a 9+ on a scale of 10. I have been offered $3000 for this one, turning them down...flat! Wife said so.  '>
Here in Texas, Dr. Pepper is King...blah, blah, blah.....But some folks are just crazy for the stuff. Some of my biggest jobs however, were for Dr.Pepper collectors. I personally think the machines are attractive, unique, and make a great addition to any collection!
Whether what I've heard is correct or not, it's still a neat story.

PS...Tom, way to hustle on the sign! Man...if I need anything, you can just snap your fingers and get it for me...okay? '>

Everybody does their part here at SMC! If you need something, somebody here can usually help. Being from Texas, I too am a DP nut (I like it a lot better than Coke) - so my searches usually include DP somehow. I saw it and thought of Shelly.

I think so. I missed that whole Lyon's machine discussion, but read it the other day when I was searching for something - he seemed to ruffle a few feathers around here.
