Title: 1956 Apco CoffeeShoppe Junior. Competed with Stoner Cafes.
Post by: sledworks on December 23, 2012, 05:37:06 pm
I doubt many of these are around. Not nearly as sought after as Stoner Cafe machines. Roughly same time period. Mid-to late 50's when several manufacturers had hot drink machines. I have a 1956 issue of VEND MAGAZINE that shows APCO's line of machines. (Some other great ads also inside.)

This CoffeeShoppe Junior came from a local vending company out of Harrisburg, PA. Was on display for years in their lobby. It's an older restoration. I have the front plastic sign lit up but otherwise it's non-functioning. It looks great in my office and gets lots of compliments.
