White V39

[collecture]

I would have to check to make sure, but I have both the later drum that holds king size bottles and the new drum and if  I recall correctly, the original has holes in the back that takes in the crown only, and the small bottles are still inserted bottom first.

Yes, you are correct.
The holes in the rear plate are of a size the will allow the King Size (10oz.) bottle to be loaded crown first up to about the shoulder leaving 1/4"-1/2" of the base of the bottle for the patron to grab hold of. The holes in the rear plate are not as big as the bum of the 6 1/2oz. bottles and they are still loaded bum first allowing the patron to grab the crown.

Well, the white door V-39 that I remember seeing the other week on ebay is back today.  I couldn't remember where I saw it, so I didn't pipe up earlier!     This one is here in Central Texas.  I think it looks really nice...definitely different than the ordinary.  I believe this is exactly what you (RC Kid) were talking about doing.

Exactly! And I believe this is the one I saw that sparked my interest in this paint scheme. I think it looks cool, as well as different, without being some flakey color like purple or pink. You know what I mean?

Thanks

I think that looks pretty cool as well... something a little different for the Coke guys in all of us that isn't ALL red.... you got me thinking now on my v39 restoration...hmmmmm

Can't wait to see yours if you go that route!!

Good luck!

It's the only time I think i've ever seen the bottle hand decal on a machine, and didn't think, :wow, that's cheesy",

A white door andred body  scheme is beginning to grow on me... hmmmm I have a 39,,....
