Title: Sprite Machine? Post by: Weebster on October 07, 2014, 10:12:41 am Has anyone seen a Sprite machine.....all green with some white?
I saw one and I think it was a Cavalier. Title: Re: Sprite Machine? Post by: pinballdude on October 07, 2014, 02:29:14 pm I've collected Coca-Cola and soda in general for nearly 40 years. I haven't seen one yet. That doesn't mean that one was never made. Sprite came out in the early 60s. Back then, it was sold as a secondary flavor in dedicated Coke machines. Now that I think of it, a Sprite machine would be cool to own. So would TaB or Fresca done up 60s style.
The Schmidt museum never had one either. Terry Title: Re: Sprite Machine? Post by: Weebster on October 07, 2014, 05:53:16 pm I've collected Coca-Cola and soda in general for nearly 40 years.

Well, there is one in my brothers garage man-cave across the street in very nice cosmetic condition. I thinkThe Schmidt museum never had one either. Terry it works too. He also found, separately, a matching enameled metal sign. I guess I'll have to get some pics. Title: Re: Sprite Machine? Post by: Weebster on October 07, 2014, 06:31:17 pm I just talked to my brother (he's not at home) and he said it's a Cavalier 51 and it is full of cold Sprite.
It's in a dark spot but near a door and he promised to move it outside tomorrow to take some pics. Title: Re: Sprite Machine? Post by: coke_and_stuff on October 07, 2014, 09:35:33 pm If it's a cavalier 51 its a original Coca Cola machine that has been rebranded into a Sprite machine.

That's what it turned out to be.

Terry Title: Re: Sprite Machine? Post by: Weebster on October 08, 2014, 03:09:13 pm It did have a few in it but he was pulling them out when I got there. I only see 6 left.
