Title: Shelves for machine
Post by: quitcrab on November 03, 2014, 04:54:30 pm
Hi I am new here.  Does anyone here make customs shelves to fit in a old pepsi machine. I need 3 shelves about 21x7   I am turning the machine into a beer fridge. Any ideas? Pictures?
Thanks scott

hi Scott, welcome. I don't think you would need custom shelves. Check the ID plate on the side of machine and post the model number on this message board. I'm sure someone can help you as soon as we know what pepsi machine you have.

Mine is a 1954 vmc.  Serial# 45119833
The machine original had a wheel ... I just want to put some shelves in to store beer.  Thanks.  Scott

Welcome to the forum!  What about having a few pieces of rigid plexiglass cut to size?  Then you could see through the shelves to what's below.  Most hardware stores like Lowes/HD will cut the plexi for you, just make sure it's thick enough to not sag.

I bought a piece of closet shelving from the hardware store today to play around with. The shelf is wire and coated with a  white coating   I figured wire shelves would let the cold air circulate better  I can cut this piece down to fit but I would have to have a rod welded on for support. 

I was just hoping to find a fabricator on this board that could make three custom shelves in chrome

Thanks
