Title: Early Choice Vend CV47 Project
Post by: johnieG on September 07, 2010, 08:26:00 pm
Well it might not look it, this is one of the rarer earlier model Choice Vends, this one being a CV47/Pepsi model with the light-up Pepsi sign, not too many of these are around from what I've seen about, while the front door lock medallion isn't as flashy as the two-flavor's ( the star-burst design) it's still a very 99% complete machine and even better it's 100% functional, ( the coinmech is on the bench in these pictures, so it's not shown. although the cash-box is missing, it's not that hard to fabricate as it kinda looks like a Westinghouse Select-a-matic style of coin-catcher.)   & I've already have a replacement light-up Pepsi sign as shown in the one picture..

Obviously it's in need of a little bump & paint, but it's a very solid machine (and it seems like it weighs a ton!) it's going to be a fun little project for the fall/winter...)

Thats a neat looking machine. So that little counter told them how many drinks they vended out? Thats pretty cool. Are you going to hook it up when you restore it?
