Title: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: Jared on July 02, 2014, 09:11:20 pm does a vmc or vendo 44 pepsi cola exist.have seen fantasy ones but not a real one.

But the idea is cool. Wouldn't hack a 44 to make a fantasy machine though.

I'd hack any (common) machine (44, 81, 110) that my (substitute) embossing fit nicely in. Then again, I don't restore a lot of machines. I was simply speaking from the heart....would not feel bad about it! Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: tkaz on July 02, 2014, 11:43:41 pm There's one for sale right now on Ebay for an exorbitant amount for a fantasy machine. Seller at least admits the embossing was welded in. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pepsi-Machine-Vendo-44-Restored-/161355859753?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25918f0729
Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: Larry on July 03, 2014, 07:35:15 am Cool looking machine, but it is a lot of money.
I like original machines but if I were to get one made, and I had a personal favorite soda, I would have one made from a donor machine. I have no problems with that. Just keep in mind that the value you pay may not be the value you receive later. Then again, you may get more. I think I'll have someone cut up my Coke Vmc 72 and make it a Pepsi Vmc 72. I'll have to work on making the shell larger too so I could fit Mexican Pepsi's in there. :biggrin: Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: MoonDawg on July 03, 2014, 07:49:11 am This is a Pepsi 44 machine that only vends Cokes. I don't believe even the smallest Pepsi bottle would fit.
So if we have a fantasy machine for display only, no need for that beautiful compressor or hard to find bottle stack. Might as well just use a shell, leave the door shut and admire it! :glare: Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: mygoose101 on July 03, 2014, 12:17:55 pm A fantasy machine should never be called rare.
Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: BONOVOX on July 03, 2014, 12:18:41 pm It is a cool looking machine though!
Where do you think the embossed letters came from? Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: Kilroy on July 03, 2014, 01:47:57 pm Just unsubstantiated speculation on my part, but i am thinkng the embossing came form a slider.
Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: mygoose101 on July 03, 2014, 01:53:13 pm if I had to guess I would say the embossing came from a cooler. I think a slider would be to big. The 44 is a very narrow machine.
Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: Eric on July 03, 2014, 01:55:47 pm a Pepsi 33 embossing may be small enough.
Title: Re: vmc 44 pepsi cola Post by: pinballdude on July 03, 2014, 02:49:21 pm I have had one for years. Incomplete. Wanted to restore, never got around to it. Missing bottle stack, vend mech and cover. Maybe one of these days...
