Title: Flat screen

         Ok big screen TV's are in.....and big Coke machines are out, right?

         Well I saw this on local C/L.  Imagine this Coke machine with new paint and chrome plating that is also used as a TV  :drinking:

         With upper stack modification and good insulation, this would be a hit at Superbowl.

I love that idea, my brother n law has a c - 200 something from the 60 s I did not take much of a look at but might go back and see if I can use it for that

That is a weird graphic on that machine.  Coke mixed in with what looks to be generic sodas.  Would think that a Coke graphic would be only Coke products.  Guess they wern't as anal back then.

Didn't come from the factory like that. My guess  a route operator, or machine owner added it, probably to replace a broken panel.

Don't look now, someone's just invented the 5' tall console television.  :tounge:

Seriously, the machine itself works? Is that an old Westinghouse?

That's one way to fix a bad illumination ballast  :upside:

This might be a good candidate for the TV treatment, as long as your can get good buddy Doc Oc to move it for you. :biggrin: I bet it weighs close to 700 lbs.
