I had one. They are extremely heavy, and pretty advanced. Send me your email I can send you pictures of the one I had. I wouldn't pay alot for one... Jared Title: Re: the soda shoppe Post by: BONOVOX on September 08, 2012, 05:18:02 pm I remember those as a kid.
Usually they were in the hospitals, or the muffler shops, or at the front door of a bowling ally etc.... Those were the days before Coke and Pepsi took over with vending contracts at locations like schools hospitals etc.... Who here remembers the coffee that came in a cup as well, and the cups had these butterfly handles that you would pull out, and presto, a cup with a handle! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: the soda shoppe Post by: Fire708 on September 08, 2012, 08:12:13 pm I remember the coffee machine from the Tacoma, WA Greyhound station. Dad would always let me get soup while he had a coffee. The soup was terrible but I loved to watch the machine vend.

Basically chicken broth from that cube like substance for cooking... BLA!!

I always thought it amusing when you got the occasional lost/stuck noodle in your coffee. :tounge: Jim Title: Re: the soda shoppe Post by: pinballdude on September 08, 2012, 10:15:14 pm Do I remember this...? Insert money. Make selection. Sound of cup dispensing. Soda being dispensed
down the drain because machine was out of cups!! PLEASE. This is not meant to be a rant on these beautiful machines. But that is what I remember happening. (by beautiful, I mean actual branded machines. NOT those generic "wall of no name" vending areas.) Title: Re: the soda shoppe Post by: JBVending on September 09, 2012, 08:48:01 am I use to repair those "pain in the butt" machines. Took a full time crew to keep them running with a icemaker, waterbath, carbonator and syrup despensors for a post-mix drink. And yes, quite often the cup wouldn't make it to the cup station and down the drain went your drink. Batch brew and wet ground coffee machines were just as bad to keep going until the single cup machines came out.
