My parents were just down for the weekend and my mother gave me a framed photo of my grandfather (who died when I was 5) next to a Pepsi cart/machine.  I was hoping that somebody might be able to help me identify it.  I see that it is a "double-dot" but I've never seen the slogan, "QUALITY" and "QUANTITY" before. Thanks in advance.

It looks like a Westinghouse Master chest, I noticed the familiar lines and the embossed Ice Cold and ribs on the lower part of the machine. Am I wrong??

It does have some resemblance, but I thought Westinghouse was just Coke machines and there is no cap catcher.

Joey's right - it is just a Pepsi sign mounted on front of the chest and over the embossing.

Was this common for Pepsi signs of this size to be put over the Coke embossing?  It looks like a hole was even cut for the water run-off.

Awesome picture! that would be the center piece to my collection!
Yeah they all took from each other..Just a cool metal sign bolted over a
Master.... You need to find that sign and a master and recreate that!
I'd have that picture blown up, matted and framed that over the cooler.
Very cool!

Eric,

That is exactly what my mother did.  She blew up the picture, matted it and gave it to me as a birthday gift.  It will hang over my Ideal Pepsi Slider when I am finished with it...And actually you've hit on my intent of identifying the machine...Has anyone seen a sign like this one?  Can you point me in the right direction?  I'd love to add the machine to my collection as a way of reconnecting with my grandfather -- like I said, he died when I was very young.

I said a master before but looking close I'd say it's a standard. the lids are the same size of a junior they look narrow like
a junior... Just start watching for a cooler and a sign!

Has anyone seen anything like this sign?  I've seen that Pepsi logo before, but I've never seen Pepsi use that slogan, "QUALITY" "QUANTITY".  I suppose I could recreate the sign.  Any consensus on whether this is a standard or a junior?  It looks  too small to be a master.
