I just picked this machine up yesterday.
It is stamped as a USS 8-48. Why would
it be marked that when it should be an 8-64?  '>

Yep, mine is stamped 8-48. I asked that once too and never found out the difference.

Roger - looks like you're starting a USS collection. There's a Coke version peeking in on your 2nd pic. Do they both work?

I have to ignore some of them on Craigslist because I have so many square tops already.  '>
But sometimes they just follow me home  '> honest...

I read those threads and looked at your pics.
Identical machines right down to the trim. And they are trimmed different than my other 3 USS 64's. This machine was Pepsi from the start. You can tell.
Are you leaving yours or changing it?

I agree, it was Pepsi to begin with. I left it. It was pretty clean, just cleaned it up. I didn't like the color blue at the bottom of the door, so I changed that and made new labels for the knobs.

Usually, the model number of the machines indicate the number of bottles the machine held to vend.
ie. V23, V44, V56, V81, V110 etc.
Could it be that there used to be a Pepsi can in production that was larger in diameter than today's cans?
Maybe they could only fit 6 on a shelf?
8x6=48

I think I got the Coca Cola, Sprite and some others that I didn't use from vendingmachinesrus. What others are you looking for?
The ones I made are on the computer at home and I can send you what I have. We made them also on labels.
