I am looking for a machine and hope someone out there can help me. I would like to buy a Liquid Carbonic Servitor machine - It does not matter to me the brand name and I would prefer it to be unrestored if possible. I understand from Funtronics - Rod that there was a Liquid Carbonic on Ebay a while back that bought 900.00 dollars. I would pay  700.00 finders fee for that one if complete. Does anyone out there in soda machine land know where I might find such a machine - Thanks so much for any help - Let me know who has one and how to contact them - I would be interested in paying the balance of the sale price of the machine up to 1600.00 dollars to the finder of such a box to the 1st person that leads me to the Liquid Carbonic i am able to buy - Thanks so much - Alan Huffman 828-962-9783 or list here in this answer here in www.soda-machines.com - Thanks again Looking for an unrestored machine - brand does not matter. I want it for the museum.  :jawdrop:

Where'd that other one go!? Wasn't there 1 in Texas in DP or was that the 1 on Ebay?

Update: Sorry Alan. Did some more searching and it was E-bay

The one in Texas is in the DP museum.  However, Robb (jt2139) on this site has restored at least 3 of them.  He is here in Texas as well, and may know where one may be located.  Send him a PM.  Good luck, Alan!  I'll keep my eyes open!

I recently spoke with Robb and he sent me a few photos that I have included on "The Liquid Page (http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=178&Itemid=14)" in the Soda Machines Section.

Alan,
These don't show up that often, the one that just sold on ebay was very reasonable too! $900...

That is fine with me - I would pay 900.00 easy  - If anyone out there can locate me an unrestored Liquid Carbonic that I can buy - I will give them 500.00 for finding it.  :help:

 - If you find one for 900.00 - I will pay 600.00 dollars finders fee - so anything under 1500.00 and I will pay the difference to the finder.

That's it. I'm throwin the gas card and the lap top in the truck!!!! LOL

You must really have a serious buyer for this Alan.

Most I've seen are in Texas....you got a loooooong drive Canuck! LOL

Nice and warm tho 8)

Nope - I am just going to put it in the Museum - Just raise it to 1700.00 while we are at it - I would like it unrestored and complete. I will pay up to 1700.00 for this machine and the finder gets the balance  - So that is (1700.00) - (cost of machine) = finders fee :jawdrop:

I thought I had found you one.  Had my eyes on it for years and didn't want to pay the $1000 being asked.   :darn: I called yesterday to purchase and found out it sold to someone on the west coast last week.  Just my luck.  As mentioned I have had three in the past.  The first one is in the Dr. Pepper museum in Dublin (not displayed as it is restored Coke), the second one is unrestored in the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco on display, and the third I restored Dr. Pepper since the first two went to Dr. Pepper museums and it is in a private collection in Dallas.  Great machines.

I raised my offer to 4000.00 dollars for this machine and my offer still stands for the moment. I have a phone call from a person now who has located one of these and the deal may go down - If you can call around and find me one of these - call me in the morning - I am ready to buy and will take the first available Servitor. Thanks Alan huffman 828-962-9783

Hey Alan,

I PM you this morning on one. Did you email them?

I've contacted the seller of the orignal auction on Ebay, & emailed her to see if the buyer is willing to contact you in regards to his Liquid Carbonic, let's see if it bears fruit...JohnieG

Bought a Liquid Carbonic servitor today for 4500.00. It is in good shape - I need the following and would love to have a photo of what I am looking for. I am in need of a cap catcher for a Liquid Carbonic and a bottle opener - I would love to have a close up photo of both of these - I also would like a photo of the ram rod for these machine. I would be willing to pay someone for their time in locating me these photos or some sort of useable pattern to produce them properly - I have some photos but they are not as clear as they need to be - Thanks Alan Huffman  :biggrin:

Congrats Alan on finding your prize..
Of course we need the story and pictures..

I will post photos on the site I guess and then put the link here - I have tried to post but they are too large it seems. I am in need of a really good photo of the cap catcher , and the bottle opener and the ram rod - If anyone knows about that - thanks AH
