Is that an original?... Or is it an older restoration?.. I think I would leave as is.. looks really nice.

Is that a 160? The one that I saw was huge, larger than your average run of the mill Jacobs 26.
Yours appears to be in great condition. I agree with Eric I would find a basket case to restore rather than one that looks that good.

I agree... that one is far too nice to restore. If that is original LEAVE IT. If it's an older restoration it looks good enough.

I presume that it's in original shape despite that someone change it to be used with cans instead of bottles. |

Wow.. that is a great survivor.. very few make it this long looking like that... I would think it would be worth more in
that original condition... What are the issues that make you want to paint it.. are there dents we can't see or rust issues?
It has had an easy life no doubt. Post more pictures if you can. Thanks for sharing.

hi Eric, yes the paint doesn't look good but maybe with a good polish it could be solved The coca cola letters are made of vinyl no paint the cooling systems is working fine the only thing that i don't like is that someone adapt it to use cans instead of bottles and the wheel doesn't spins ( i don't know how do you call the wheel where the bottles are stored), thats why im looking for the service manual |

26 holds and dispenses 26 bottles
160 holds and dispenses 160 bottles
machine is to small for 160 bottles.

Just for clarification, the JSC-160 and JSC-26 are the same model. At some point, FL Jacobs changed models numbers...
