I agree, nice to see other than coca cola and pepsi. I wish I could specialize in the thing or brand, I'm all over the place.
I really like that VMC 81, maybe the best looking of the 81's.
HOW DID YOU COME ABOUT IT?

Brian,
What does it take for a local to get a guided tour?

Hi Guys! I have been collecting for about 14 years. I worked for Dr Pepper / Seven Up for 14 years! Just left them last December and now work for Colgate / Palmolive in sales and marketing. As far as the S&S coolers, they are early 1940's. Both original and both with the original signs. I did paint the "Ouch out of grouch" cooler.
As far as the 81, it is all original. I just bought that a few months ago from a guy in CA. It has the original paint and logo's on the side. Clean as can be inside and out. Still runs and gets cold like you would not believe! It is 100% the real deal and have never seen a 50 year old machine look better.
Tours are avaiable anytime Frank! Come on over! I have a ton of signs, lights, clocks and the like. So much so, that I am thinking of opening up a 7up museum. The only machines I am missing in my collection that I know of are a VMC 88 Embossed and VMC 149 Embossed. If anyone ever sees those machines, let me know!

I really want to, but have to find the right building and get the start up $$$ to do so. I know it would take off. I have the stuff to do so! If you have ever been to the Dr Pepper musuem in Waco, mine would be similar.

Outstanding collection!!! If the Vendo building in KC is still standing that would be cool place for a museum. Thanks for the photos.
