Title: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: GreginNM on October 06, 2009, 10:36:18 am Anyone ever seen one of these or know what it is? I've asked the owner to see what it is, but I thought I'd post it here for others to see and ponder with me! :biggrin:
Greg Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: RC kid on October 06, 2009, 04:01:33 pm Is it embossed?
Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: GreginNM on October 06, 2009, 04:10:20 pm Don't know yet...waiting for a response from the owner. Looks a lot like the graphics on the Ideal 55, etc. coolers where the Pepsi part is embossed and the other wording isn't.
Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: halehouse on October 06, 2009, 04:37:20 pm That is really cool....some type of transitional machine.

Is it complete...? Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: GreginNM on October 06, 2009, 05:20:01 pm It's supposed to be complete and working as far as he knows...
Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: johnieG on October 06, 2009, 06:03:04 pm it's an early ideal 300 series or something like that, it doesn't hold as much as you might think, it has only 3 selections to offer behind that mammoth bottle door.
Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: MoonDawg on October 06, 2009, 06:23:47 pm SMC soda machines lists an upright 400B but no photo.
3 selections, 581 lbs, 70" tall and 38" wide. Gregg......get some help loading it :biggrin: Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: GreginNM on October 07, 2009, 08:09:09 am Glen wins! Consulted my book when I finally got home last night...looks like it's an Ideal 400B. Still don't know if it's embossed, but it's a good looking machine. The book says it's very rare, but also very low on anyone's want list. Too bad it's so heavy and big!! :wow: I hate to see something so uncommon just waste away because of its size...I have Glen helping move it, who else? :tounge:
Keep looking....... Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: GreginNM on December 01, 2009, 10:28:42 am Crazy...just heard from this seller again this weekend after a few weeks...it's definitely an Ideal 400B, very rare, 73 1/2 inches tall, 38 inches across, and 23 inches deep. It is indeed embossed just like an Ideal 55 with the Pepsi logo and circle. The "Drink" and "Ice cold" are painted/decals. Supposed to work and be complete. He wants $200. Anyone interested? It's in Sacramento, CA. I think my parents would kill me if I sent them down there to grab this for me (if it didn't kill them first!). This would be a killer looking machine, and you would be the only one on the board with one, but you would never be able to move it again!
Title: Re: Interesting Pepsi Machine Post by: Jim on December 01, 2009, 04:30:21 pm Hey Greg,
Do you think you could acquire a better photo for use in the Soda Machines Section...? This would make a great addition since these don't come up very often... Maybe they could take another picture slightly off to one side a little while keeping the complete machine in the photo... |
