Title: VMC bezel wanted
Post by: vendo81 on October 21, 2010, 03:19:54 am
Does anyone have a VMC bezel that they would like to sell? I've got a VMC with a Coke bezel on it.  :veryangry:

Well I got lucky and found one about an hours drive north in Los Angeles.  :tounge:  Needs a rechrome but the price was right at $100.00.

Thanks for the welcome! I'll take a couple pics tomorrow and load them up. Are there just soda machine collectors here or does anyone collect signs and soda advertising? Just wondering as they go great together! Probably have a few of my sign pics on my computer if anyones interested.

Good price on the bezel! I don't think anyone here JUST collects soda machines - collections breed within us. I started with coins and stamps, then matchbooks, LP's soda machines and advertising...

Welcome and yes please post pics of your 'pride and joys'. You can also upload pics in the Gallery accessible from the main page.

I kinda figured that most people collect other items as well. Jukeboxes, signs and so many other things go great with soda machines.
I tried to download photos but keep getting a message that my file is too large....even with just one photo. I've contacted an administrator to help me with posting some photos to the photo gallery.

This applies to the Discussion Forums, but not the Photo Gallery.

Yes, post your photo of your collection, we all love anything related to soda, 50's, vintage cars, jukes, gas pumps... but we all have one thing in common... we love Soda Machines.

Anyone know how to post photos on the gallery? I never got a reply from my message to the moderator.

After you login on the main page, you have to click on Private Collections. Then scroll down and you'll see Add Album on the left under Photo Gallery. Click on the Add Album link and it should be fairly easy after that.

Does that "Say Pepsi Please" sign with the glass being filled move when you turn it on? Just wondering because I think those kind of signs are neat. I bought one during the summer that was a coke sign and it looks like the coke cup is being filled. Here is a video of my sign.

Very cool sign! That polarization effect is really cool. This sign actually has a thin layer of fluid between the outside and the inner "ice" effect. The glass actually looks like it is filling with pepsi . Very realistic and looks like a real glass! They did a great job when they designed this sign. When full it stays on for a couple seconds, then the glass goes dark and the "Say pepsi please lights up". Then it repeats the whole thing. The sign is 24" X 24" and is from the early 1960's.

Thanks for the welcome Dave. Yes the 1900 and 2000 are completely original machines. I'm running out of 45's for my machines though!  The early 78 machines are my favorite...78 machines are very cool.

Thanks for the message signguy. The rocker clocks are cool to see in action. I'm trying to figure out how to post them to utube.
Does anyone have a VMC bottle door? I heard from a couple people but they never responded when I sent them a message.
