Title: USS-8-64 Parts & Misc
Post by: houstonhusker on January 25, 2010, 08:55:05 am
I picked up this 1981 machine last week and so far it works great except it's missing a few things.  First, it's missing the bottle opener...I have the bottle opener surround...just not the physical bottle opener.  Anyone have one?  Also, the change light is not working.  I opened up to see the lights...but it appears it's a closed system and I can't just change the bulbs.  Again...any advice or where I can get one that works?  Finally, the machine I have does not illuminate the large Coke sign...it's just painted sheet metal.  Is there a way I can make this one light up if I can find the trim and panel to replace the sheet metal?  I'll attach some pics of what I have now and what I'd eventually like to make it look like...thanks!!

I have all the parts for the lightup sign, I just don't have a Coke sign for it.  The one that I had is a painted over Pepsi one.  Let me know if you're interested, I can send some photos.

As for the bottle opener, it looks like it is in there...is it missing the top part or something?

yea, I'm definitely interested on the sign parts....let me know how much you want and I can shoot you a payment via paypal...I can pick up the actual sign from funtronics I believe.  As far as the bottle opener, that's not a picture of my actual machine...just one that looks exactly like mine...no pics of mine taken just yet...
