That is a HUGE machine. Here is the link to its info on it from the soda machine ID section of the site.

Looks like SMC has surpassed the reference books...
Time for SMC to publish an updated book!

Alright, I'll get down of my soapbox...

Well, it may be huge but look at the positive side. It won't get lost in the corner of your gameroom either .

Jim you really could do that. Even if it wasn't a price guide. If you took all of the pics and ID's with approx size and dates for all of the machines in the database I would buy one. That would be the best soda machine book ever made.

And I will donate a nice pic of my soon to be restored VMC 56 Transitional Dr. Pepper machine!  I can get published!!  :tounge:

We could use an up to date book, but with wireless we can always log on here. Well... almost always

Good idea - a friend of mine published his own book on soda can values he used www.instantpublisher.com for the printing and they were very reasonable.

If someone did a book I imagine they would have to get all the trademark and copyright okay's from all the soda compaines in order to not get sued.  I doubt that is fun, easy, or cheap as you might need a attorney just to deal with their legal people.  However mark me down for a bootleg copy if anyone prints one up...
