If you look close, the coke sign is screwed on , or riveted. I would think if it was a generic model, they could have laid down a new decal. My luck it's a 7up or RC, ah. to dream, now if I can hit the lottery to make a run on it

The 7up logo would be much taller, this sign wouldn't cover it. Same for the RC letters. And we know it's not Coke cause of the VMC dimple just barely visible in the first picture, and the VMC coin entry & bottle door. That narrows it down to Dr.Pepper/ generic or Pepsi. Looking at the third picture, the door linner has a hole in it and some insulation missing, looks to be exposing the original color.
Thanks for sharing Ginger.

Nice catch Glenn.. If it is a Pepsi, the sign doesn't like it would cover the embossing either... Look at the pic in the header of this site.. the "P" extends almost to the 2nd bottle gate. The sign doesn't come down that far on the auction...

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001... Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Third and fourth photos reveal blue paint... The third image is an excellent reference for matching the blue as this is the round corner re-enforcement brace. You can see this due to the hole in the liner. The bolt head on the hinge has also revealed some blue paint. This still doesn't explain the raised Coca-Cola plate possibly not being large enough to conceal the Pepsi logo... Perhaps it's just large enough...
