Title: Barq's 55 Post by: kbareit on September 17, 2013, 02:40:28 pm Just picked up this Barq's 55 north of Pittsburg today. I want to give a big thanks to Maine T for the lead on it. He sends quite a few and I finally was able to make a deal on one. Thanks again :happydrinkers:
Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: Slapshot42 on September 17, 2013, 02:47:02 pm A few have popped up over the last few months. You would think it's a common box to find!
Incredibly hard to come across...it's a keeper and will showcase your collection for many years to come. Congrats... Ken. Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: BONOVOX on September 17, 2013, 03:45:11 pm Very nice pick up / find!
MaineT has given MANY heads up on machines etc..... Many of us (me included I think) have thanks to give him :happydrinkers: I wish I had the time to search like I used to..... I had 2 kids now in T-balll 4 nights a week this summer, (I was the coach for one team) and now 2 kids in full hockey 2 times a week (I'm the coach of one of the teams.) Now I rely on the board and quick searches on Greedbay..... Again,.... nice pick up! Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: MaineT on September 17, 2013, 06:59:26 pm Glad I could help!! :drinking: That thing is killer and what a deal after sitting there that long! Maybe someday I'll find one near me!
It's harder to post since 99% of my searching is done through the app on my phone. It's easier to email and text! Lots still out there like dirt cheap Vendo 56's in Detroit and Barq's sliders slipping through the cracks in Pittsburg!! The more I figure out the iPhone app, the easier it is to spread out the search. Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: jholmgren on September 17, 2013, 08:12:18 pm Gotta thank Tim as well - he's sent me a few leads on that elusive Coke wire rack that I've been trying to score for about a year now. Still haven't scored one, but nice that someone is out there searching for me.

Incredibly hard to come across...it's a keeper and will showcase your collection for many years to come. They do seem to be coming in waves. I just bought one in Kansas yesterday! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: MaineT on September 18, 2013, 08:44:27 am They do seem to be coming in waves. I just bought one in Kansas yesterday! :happydrinkers: I tried for that one in Kansas about a week ago, it got all screwed up. :Oo: He relisted it and I tried again. Guess we can stop waiting for a reply email. It's near my buddy, and would have given me a full load to go get my Pepsi out there... Looks like I'm waiting even longer.

I just bought one in Kansas yesterday! :happydrinkers: That guy called me and said another guy was really interested in it! Glad it worked out..

Am I not your buddy as well? :down: It is only a few mintues from my house if we're talking about the same one. Sending you a PM.

Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: Chedki on September 18, 2013, 05:03:39 pm Original or not, I like the red letterings.

I know Tom Barnes has a very nice original. I think personally the embossed lettering was ALL white. Title: Re: Barq's 55 Post by: zadd on September 18, 2013, 08:04:45 pm I've seen the machine in person . It hasnt been repainted . The red is original on that machine .
