Looks awesome Pat!  Love the graphics.  My middle daughter would approve of that machine, as she is a nut for anything orange in color!   biggrin

WOW Pat, I'm a huge fan... and I now must do an orange crush for myself now... simply awesome...
Question however.. what made you go with this more modern logo, rather than the older vintage look? just curious...

Looks awesome...

Photo's tonight of the inside my graphic's Gal that does all of my art work
was ill today so she  said monday .

  On the art work it is a mix of old and new  the Drink and Crushy are old school
  the Orange  & Crush with the slice of orange are new

  The  reason  was to add color to it and to have new mixed with old
to give it a whole new look  , It should be a eye catcher.

 It stated life like this  and now looks like this,
 much better.

  Now here my next question  what do you think I should ask for it  ??
I know what I have into it I would like to see what you think.

It's a beauty Pat and value can vary quite a bit..
You've got guys on ebay trying to sell restored Coke Glasco's with NO Rack or Coin mech for 2000.00.

Personally I think a really nice Coke Glasco/Ideal restored inside and out with all parts is worth at least 1500.00

SO something like this that is custom should be priced around 1500-1800?

Just my opionion?

Well the inside photo's. The inside of the lid is the only thing I did not do.
The coin mech was cleaned up &the Flavor strips will be put on Monday hopefull
I hope.

 the Drain tube was Johnie G idea , it was a water drain for a bar sink
all brass and he also said to add the chain to the stopper so it wont come up missing smile,
 it was a good idea Johnie G.

        If your intent is to sell it, the antique consignment mall would gain your maximum
exposure and price even after comission.
        The store owner also realizes that bright Orange Crush color will attract more customers right off the street and increase his overall traffic.

You know Glen I had thought about that , The one thing that had bothered
me about that is not in my line of vision ( can't keep a eye on it) oh
plus I would be upset if someone  draged a key  down one side.
and the local antique mall There guy there that is a vendor (he is big time
with this antique mall 6 booths ) so if he did not want me they would say no.
 but it may be worth a shot.

Thanks every one Like Joey said on his post on the 72 & 39
 it alot hard work that goes into doing it right but its worth it

The Next one is a La Crosse Pepsi and I think that will be a keeper
