What do you guys know about this configuration?  My mom is a Dr Pepper drinker from WAY back, and I thought it would be a hoot to see if I could reproduce this.

(Yes, I know I'm insane.  I am planning on doing something like this with my first restoration.  But it is sooooo cool!)

Shelly,
I think that is what is known as the DP Queen Anne machine. Might be difficult to duplicate exactly as it has these ornate corner pieces and legs - not to mention the marquee sign; however, you could certainly do the color scheme.

I think the hardest part would be to find that sign.  Perhaps you could do Dr Pepper, just not that one?  Something more like the dark red Dr Pepper color. I would think you could come up with a more "traditional" looking sign too.

That Sign is just not my cup of tea. I'm with Terry I just love that early DP Light green with red bricks. Much more classy and if you are not going for a true historical resotoration that's what I would do. I'm seriously considering it on my Jacobs Pepsi .

Does anybody repop the signs/ornate pieces for the Queen Annes ? Not that I would try and re-create one, more likely would be to try and find one unrestored and go from there.

What do those sell for usually ? both restored and unrestored price..   (and how does that compare with a standard V-63 in coke red for example)

I hope one day to own a V-63.. a Queen Anne would just be a bonus !

Frankly, I like the light green and the bricks, too, however, the Queen Anne logo IS my mom's cup of tea.  So, I'm going to see if I can find a few of the parts (or find something that would substitute fairly nicely), then work through the local DP bottler / office here.  They might be able to find that image for me.  

If I can just get a good digital image of that thing, I'll FIND a way to get it on plexiglass.

On a positive note, my dad is a mason, so maybe I could "talk" myself and my parents into the whole bricks idea.
