Lots of soda stuff, in fact the largest soda turn out I've seen at a gas and oil show so far. You really should of been at the show on Thursday as by 1pm 60% were packed up and gone. First time I've seen a C102 in person. I picked up a pile of htf parts and a Pepsi 81. Biggest turn out of soda machines I've seen at a gas and oil show to date.

Hard To Find

Stuff usually found under flea market tables  only in Las Vegas  and only by a certain restorer  :)

Sorry for the delay!
Been away from home for some time and have been catching up on things...

Timing was good and I was able to meet up with Joey(coke_and_stuff), Marvin, and Erik McKay ! ! ! Always nice to meet the original, not just a name or a voice on the phone...
Erik and I did a little dealing and I purchased this True single lid cooler for a good friend.
Here's a few photos:

I was there too but I did not see the the C102 . That's where I bought my Glasscock countertop cooler from. He is right if you don't go on Thursday it is no use going on Friday . We like the spring show too and as always the car show is going on at same time in pigeon forge.

102 was laying in the bed of a red Chevrolet Pickup, Basket Case for sure, cooling unit cut into pieces, orig 102 cabinet with 51 doors, all the parts taken off and in boxes. It was a mess.

      All anyone needs is the cabinet from a 102, there are plenty of C-51's are around to complete it.

It was nice meeting you there Jim.  Always good to meet other people in the hobby face to face.

The doors are different on a C-102 than a C-51.  That was a deal breaker on that machine for me.

Yes doors are different on a 51 than what is on a 102. I got the call about the machine a few weeks before the show then another on my way to the show. When I saw it in person I was very disappointed. A collecter in NC bought it and it was not Allen.
