Chance to get a vending machine

I guess in the world of soda machines, bigger is not better :'>

Nope.   I had that huge machine in my garage for 2 years trying to find a buyer.   Everyone wanted the smaller ones.

With my USS-8-64 sitting in the garage now, I get someone stopping by at least once a week  ... "Hey, is that Coke machine for sale?"   '>

They guy drains the freon illegaly then tells you he's not liscensed to put it back in. Let the both sides of his mouth kind of guy keep his machine. Chances are the compressor is shot. Either way run don't walk away from this one.  

I am almost positive that the machine is a choice vend 168 doctor pepper and pepsi five selection machine.  It looks almost identical to the one in Joshua Lomans random machine album on the fourth page second up from the very bottom.  The pepsi art on the side is almost the same, but the doctor pepper art looks a little bit older.  I am not sure if it is a can or bottle machine.  It came out of a 115 year old building that has been closed up for a long time and most likely stinks on the inside.  Since the building has been closed up for a long time and it says 50 cents on the machine that makes me think it is a bottle machine.

The choice vend machines are bottle and can machines. They are nice functional machines but they are really heavy. And I mean REALLY heavy.

"Bigger isn't better in  the world of soda machines" Ah! my mantra's are catching on at last! Yes, I agree with the thread of this posting, although tempting, belive me sometimes a bigger machine doen't have more ..Er..."luv" to give.

In regards to discharge of freon, yes indeed it's illegal call the local EPA & ask if you can split the minimum fine of $1000/per occurance this will help you finance your next machine! (just kidding...sort of  :'>   ) if it was recovered properly it will have a green recovery sticker with the licence info of the guy who did it, no sticker=bull$#it , you might wish to remind the scrap yard that they aren't allowed to accept any refigeration appliances without this sticker.

but enough gruff, I'd pass onthis puppy & you'll find your true "luv" ..er machine... '>

I'm glad to know the smaller machines are popular.. my pepsi squaretop is only like 5 feet tall and doesn't weigh all that much at all..  one man can move it on a simple fridge dolly no problem..
