Title: Vendo coin changer
Post by: Eric on January 31, 2005, 10:45:40 am
Hey folks hope all had a great weekend.
Question..... I bought a Vendo coin changer
and I just bought a base to one of those old
Coke Cops or Lolipop signs (embossed Coca-Cola base)
was wanting to put this changer on it. Does anyone
have an image of a changer on a pipe stand? Want
to make holder (something) to connect it to the
pipe and base!
Thanks!!

Eric

Eric,

I know I have or had some excellent photos of an original pole-mounted coin changer... I just have to find them and on top of that... I'm not sure if the pictures are digital or film... I'll look, but give me a little time...

If my memory serves me, the base utilized on the lollypop signs is larger than the coin changer base and I don't recall it having "Coca-Cola" on it. I do know the backing plates are different so one can accomodate the pole mount.

Sounds great! Yeah.... I'll have to have something
fabricated just wanted to see how a real one looks.
Just came across the base and wanted to do
something with it. I have drive-in speakers, a parking meter
but since it's embossed and it may be a while till the rest
of a lolipop sign turns up I thought it would be a great base
for the Coin changer. Thanks for your help.

Eric

Works for me... Great images. Looks, obviously, like a cast backing
just for that changer........ Will have to make something similar.
Thanks Jim......

Hi guys,

Hi Markito,
thanks for the heads up. I saw them -  and I love them.
If I were a millionaire I would buy one. But they are to expensive for me. :(

I'd like somewhere between where those
two on eBay ended. :D
My wife has this crazy dream of new cabinets for the kitchen
so I know where our tax return is going.... so I gotta sock something away when that Pepsi 81 turn up.
I mean what would look better in a kitchen a Pepsi 81 or
new cabinets..... somebody needs to get their priorities
in line.

I'd just email the Underbidder on the 1,000 one and offer them yours for their bid price..........and maybe you can even save ebay fees :p
