I like the top they made for it. VERY nice piece.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/RESTORED-EMBOSSED-SQUIRT-SODA-FOUNTAIN-SLIDER-MACHINE-COKE-COIN-OP-SIGN-/321230468879?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4acad3f70f

Quote...."the compressor cools and cycles and has new wiring.  Just plug in and you're ready to go!"


My monkeys uncle! It Does NOT have new wiring, just an electrical handy box & a new line cord. the rest of the wiring is a dry as the Autumn leaves here in Michigan.

But other than that, Looks very nice cosmetically,   It's a Tad pricey @ $2,395.00, but you'd spend that on bodywork & paint anyway doing your own.  ( while they were at it,  you'd think they'd pop for a new wiring harness for another $45.00)

I Also noticed that not a lot of attention was payed to the compressor area compartment, there's a lot of rust popping up in the base-plate. makes me wonder if the unit was even pulled for the "restoration".

         I see what you mean Johnie......painted the compressor and bolts and washers in place, along with the copper tubing. Old wires on t/s.

         This is like restoring a show car, then lifting the hood and spray painting everything in sight.  :darn:

The description was changed from original. It was listed as having a new compressor.  :Oo:  I love how people think that splicing a cord on a machine is considered "New Wiring"  :darn:

Still a eye catching machine, I like it. Love that countertop. Fair price.
