Title: Another Pepsi Machine Post by: Gumbo on January 19, 2010, 09:47:10 pm Hey guys- I posted the large square top a Pespi Machine a few days ago. Here is another he has, but smaller. Is this one more desiarable? What model is it? I know it is a Choice Vend. What is it worth?
Title: Re: Another Pepsi Machine Post by: scalebowler on January 19, 2010, 09:57:11 pm I think it is a neat looking machine but that is just my opinion. Not sure how much it would be worth though. Also it looks very similar to this model http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=348&Itemid=14

I wouldn't put a high value on it, although, smaller is considered better! Say... $100 - $175 Is everything functioning properly...? Looks as if the light bulb(s) may be missing.

If the fixture, starter and ballast are still good, you should be able to get new fluorescent bulbs. They look to be about 18 inches? If the fixture is no longer working you can probably get the parts to repair it but it might be easier to wire in a small fluorescent fixture that you could pick up at Home Depot or Lowes. You could probably rig something like this to work: http://www.soslightbulbs.com/18inchfluorescentundercabinetlightwith5-foothideawaycordset.aspx But the picture in the reference area looks like the original had a two bulb fixture. I am sure with a little checking around a two fixture can be found at an electrical supply company as that type of fixture would be a common size for an aquarium lid. I appears that the coin mechanism is also missing from this unit although I am sure you could find a replacement. Or you could just set it up to free-vend. If you want the machine I would go in with $100 cash and mention the things that you are going to have to replace. Make sure it is cooling properly. If not walk away because there are a lot of Pepsi machines of this vintage out there to be had. :drinking: Tim :drinking: |
