Title: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: sc1101 on June 12, 2013, 08:06:17 am Anyone looking for a Pepsi gullwing project. I just found this on ebay. Seems to be missing cap catcher and compressor. It needs some love but its priced reasonable.

Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: sc1101 on June 12, 2013, 09:11:41 pm The part that I like is the gullwing doors. Its unique. I'd also love to find a coin operated one.
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: Jim on June 12, 2013, 10:00:31 pm I'd also love to find a coin operated one. Just saw this on The Soda Jerk Works Web Site...Heintz Coin-Operated Gullwing (http://sodajerkworks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99:gullwing-coin-mech-restorations&catid=35:coinmechrestorations&Itemid=54) Might take a moment to load... Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: jbrumett on June 12, 2013, 10:15:36 pm Thanks for the post Jim. First time I've seen a Gullwing in action
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: sc1101 on June 13, 2013, 07:35:56 am That is a good video Jim. I have not seen one work either. I know a guy that has 3 of them. 2 of them missing some parts. After seeing that I want one even more.

Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: cohammer on June 13, 2013, 07:06:40 pm That's neat ,now some one make some clear lids and that would sale.
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: bcharlton on June 14, 2013, 08:04:47 am Just so I understand, the left side is for washing and the right side is for drying...correct?

Post by: coinopgullwing on June 19, 2013, 12:11:03 am Here are my 4 Stream lined vendors aka coin op gullwings, I am missing the conveyors but have several drive motors/ gearboxes. I put a short video on youtube of working coin mech and drive motor. I am in the process of reverse-engineering the conveyor from 2 preproduction pictures, wire schemtics. Very big project

Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: coinopgullwing on June 19, 2013, 12:37:01 am lids up on 3 of them
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: sc1101 on June 20, 2013, 12:21:02 am It does look like a big project but I'm sure you can handle it. Thanks for the video.
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: Gullwing on June 29, 2013, 05:44:55 am I bought the Gullwing from the original post. I am in the process of fighting the rust demons. This is my first restoration and want to make the cooler look as original as possible. What are the original colors of the cooler? Thanks.
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: sc1101 on June 29, 2013, 05:48:17 pm Congrats on the purchase! As you can tell some people like different things. I find the Pepsi gullwing doors to be very cool. I think they were white with red and blue letters. Pepsi logo in red and the 5 cents in blue and I think mine also says Ice Cold as well in blue. Good luck on resto. The person that seems to know a lot about them is member "coinopgullwing". I'm sure he could help you out with any questions.
Title: Re: Pepsi Gullwing anyone? Post by: Gullwing on June 30, 2013, 07:22:31 am Thanks. I have talked to Coinop Gullwing. He has lots of info. The machine was gutted on the inside. I will probably turn it into an ice box.
