Title: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: bmw90w on August 17, 2012, 07:10:22 pm This one came out of nowhere and I thought it was pretty cool. Drove all the way to Knoxville to get it from Atlanta. Everything cools and works great. The original paint isn't bad, it just has a lot of minor surface rust. Even the belt-line rust was better than expected. I am a coke man, but I am pretty excited about this one. Not bad for 500 bucks eh? :drinking:

Very nice indeed!Sorry for the mundane question, but do you live in Atlanta and drove to Knoxville...? Your statement reads a little funny to me... At any rate, very nice original survivor!

Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: bmw90w on August 17, 2012, 10:35:00 pm Yes I live in Atlanta. It was a long night last night! I drove straight from work and straight back home. Nice people and a cool machine I can't wait to get started on! I have to finish my 23 first and it will be a while. I thought I was cleaning out rust from the tub, when I realized I was already to the cabinet! More on that in another thread.
Thanks for the comments. Been a while since I have fixed a machine up, but I am back and addicted as ever. It felt cool ordering a bunch of parts again. Ill keep you guys posted when I start this one. I think I am going to keep the paint original and replace all the necessary inside stuff (wiring, insulation, fan motors, gaskets, breaker strips, etc). Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: BONOVOX on August 17, 2012, 11:42:05 pm Great pick up!! I like my long drives to get the machines.... gives me down time, and a chance to clear my head while on a nice long interstate :smile:
Just a little incentive below to get you started on your machine. I wish I had an all blue one, but this one was restored by someone else, and it was calling me lol Again, enjoy, and congrats on your 1st Pepsi.... Somehow I don't think it will be your last lol Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: Kilroy on August 18, 2012, 07:19:20 am We should make you a member of the Michigan Mafia. To bring a Pepsi machine into the middle of Coca Cola land takes guts :)
Congrats, it is a great find Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: bmw90w on August 18, 2012, 07:30:44 am I am originally from Detroit and go there every year to fish. In fact, I just met Pat this year for the first time. My uncle was telling me that a neighbor of his sells coke machines. Low and behold, that was Pat.
No I am sure this won't be my first! I can't decide whether to keep it all blue or do the two tone. I really like that look. That is a sweet machine! Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: bmw90w on August 20, 2012, 12:28:52 pm What are these things worth nowadays anyways?
Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: Blind1968 on August 20, 2012, 03:30:23 pm Great find!
Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: Fire708 on August 20, 2012, 11:15:58 pm Yea, that's cool. Nice find.
Title: Re: My First Pepsi Machine Post by: bmw90w on August 21, 2012, 08:51:53 pm Thanks guys! I am excited about it. I think this one is gonna get the full restoration done on it. I really like the 2 tone look, so this one is getting painted, powdercoated etc.
