Title: f39 Post by: cohammer on August 31, 2013, 03:38:23 pm what is a F39 instead of a V39 on an ID plate it is on this Pepsi machine . If it is embossed coca cola sign under the pepsi sign is it worth restoration to coca cola.

Personally, Oh yeah, I'd restore it, but i am partial to the V39. A lot of people don't like them since they vend only one bottle and one size, but it is a classic look. And you will always find a buyer ( in my opinion) As for the ID plate, I'll have to go back and look at the pics of my old 39's. Seems to ring a bell that it is accurate, but I am going off sketchy memories Title: Re: f39 Post by: johnieG on August 31, 2013, 05:20:34 pm There is no such thing as an "original" V39/Pepsi, It makes it a repainted fake. :tounge: ( politely speaking it's an "adopted" machine from another bottle) But it is still a Coke machine at heart.
I believe the "F" model V39 had the "King size " bottle drum that would handle the larger King Size Coke bottles, thus why it was an attractive "find" for the Pepsi bottler who re-branded it. |
