Is it the one I saw on Ebay lately? Delf's aren't common & finding parts for them is difficult, though not impossible, usally they are found missing the internal vending system, that consists of horizontal conveyers, see page 281 of Jeff Walters 3rd edition soda machine reference guide. also you may try to contact Maria@vintagevending.com (don't quote me on the email address though) they had a delf triple up for auction about 2 months ago, it wasn't complete either, but it looked like a solid parts machine maybe...Hope it helps...JohnieG

That one on ebay was listed as a 59, it was actually a 159 and was missing everything, vending mechanics inside, lots of the exterior trim. It was basically a Delf 159 shell. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3261340772&category=13734

Thanks to Johnie G and John in NC for the help, and yes, it was the one on Ebay, but i think it was not worth the trouble of trying to find the parts.

Perhaps someone caould shed a little light for me as well since I have this model being manufactured by Atlas Tool Manufacturing since I have see this model with an Atlas ID Tag... Perhaps Atlas bought the Delph company and put their name on the machines...
I would appreciate anyone taking a look under the "Atlas" Manufacturer in the Soda Machines Section and see if we are all referring to the same machine...

And here's a shot of the machine in question off of Ebay
It's definetly a 159-triple, not a "59"

Thanks for the clarification Johnie!
My last question is which is the correct spelling...? "Delph" or "Delf"...?

Well I think this machine looks cool! I'm sure it will never take money again, but if someone would creatively restyle that main door, they would have an awesome looking refrigerator Glen.
