Title: 7 Up Decals Post by: SLIDER on October 23, 2012, 12:14:39 am Any Ideas where to get a 7 up decal (The fiftys style square Red/White/Black "7" with bubbles) in around a 12" square size???
All I can find are smaller ones for sale. Most of the main sources seem to be COKE happy... Title: Re: 7 Up Decals Post by: Wojcik on October 23, 2012, 05:29:47 am They have them at Killer Decals.
Title: Re: 7 Up Decals Post by: BeaYoung on October 23, 2012, 09:03:46 am I just bought a decal for the front of an Ideal 55 7-up machine from Funtronics that sounds like the dimensions you are looking for.
The paint shop had a little "oops" with the first one (someone scraped the machine after it was painted and it had to get repainted) but it looked really sharp and fit the embossing perfectly. I'll post a photo when it is finished this week. What machine will you put it on? B. Title: Re: 7 Up Decals Post by: SLIDER on October 23, 2012, 11:47:18 pm It is going on a 1953 Ideal 55 Slider.
Mine is not embossed though. It was made into a 7up. After sanding it all down past the white paint I found the original color was the Royal crown yellow. I thought about making it Royal crown, but I already have an S&S 700 cooler chest that is RC already. Then I thought maybe a nice Pepsi Blue?? But in the end I stuck with the 7up.

Title: Re: 7 Up Decals Post by: SLIDER on October 28, 2012, 02:22:32 pm Small seriel number tag on left side of machine. upper left corner has the serial number and if you look at the right angle you can see a "53" stamped into it. Also while restoreing the coin
mech. 1953 was stamped on a number of the parts. Thats my reasoning?? Title: Re: 7 Up Decals Post by: Kilroy on October 28, 2012, 02:30:19 pm Logical.
