Title: Apco soda shop
Post by: kbareit on January 09, 2013, 05:52:27 pm
I was picking up a slider for an other member today and saw this Apco machine and was wondering what it's worth. It appears to be intact even has the syrup tanks. Don't know what to offer for it. Any Idea's?

I bought one last year at a thrift store for $230.  Sold it for $900

It was complete minus the sign.  It was a heavy son of  gun!!

I think $250-$300 is fair price. Reminds me of my APCO Coffee Shoppe Junior I posted the other week. (It's a keeper.)

I think APCO machines are sort of cool. Here's a 1956 ad for that machine from Vend Magazine, a trade pub that has tons of great machine ads in it.

      That coffee machine looks stunning. Was it restored and is it working?

Glenn- it came from an old, local vending company. Restored inside and out years ago and was on display in their lobby. Besides hooking up to a water line and filling with product, prob wouldn't take much to get working. But I'm not going to bother. Too pristine. Haha.
