Title: My newest machine
Post by: collecture on September 01, 2011, 10:41:14 pm
Bought this off eBay ($350 BIN) a couple of days ago.
Cost me $115 more to ship and I should be picking it up at the terminal tomorrow.
It looks solid, straight, complete (except for lock) and seller says it cools and it has got a 36 bottle empty rack on one side to boot. The locking bar and cap catcher are loose and were in another pic, but they are there.
Thinking of making it a DP if I can find a nice sign for it, but may stick with the 7UP.

Sweet, another great find. I really like when it's all original, it's owning a piece of history!

I think you are right Eric! I don't have a 7UP machine yet.....might as well be this one! Even has a Los Angeles 7UP Bottling ID tag on it!
DP would be cool, but I can't see where a sign would fit on the main door??
Thanks to all...
It was one of those "I already have one, but it is a great price...clicked BIN...back button....clicked BIN....back button....I already have one, but it is a great price!!....clicked BIN....confirmed & done!!
I got it home today and it is really straight with a few small dings here and there. The vend/mech linkage is a little bent, but nothing major. All-in-all very happy! Will see if it cools soon.

Also, I have confirmed that the coin return cup bezel is missing. I noticed it was gone after the fact, but was hoping it would be tucked in somewhere. Can't ID another model using the same style...anybody know if it is found elsewhere? Anybody have one? I have one on my other C-33 - can it be duplicated relatively inexpensively?

Out of the almost 200 machines I have had I have never had one. Dude that rocks! I have always wanted one and I think that is one of the few machines my wife would let in the ouse
