Ok, I know it's not as cool as an 81D or even a 110 with coin mech by the 110E 6-Case cooler is actuallyt a pretty nice machine.
Painted all red, it's not that exciting but I got mine with a 20 inch coke bottle. I am also thinking of jazzing it up with a yellow Serve Yourself decal toward the top. In no way, shape or form will the sprite boy be peeking around any bottles on this machine!
Attached is a pic...hope you guys enjoy...it's starting to get hot here in CA...glad it can hold enough drinks!

First of all, though it doesn't have vending, it is still a very cool machine. I love that machine.
No coin mech/vending mech = a few less things to gum up and malfunction. I would never turn one down.
Secondly, I am so glad that your 110e is a "Sprite Boy"-Free-Zone! I pledge that my machines will always be the same.
Thirdly, I hope you have velcro'd a sheet of felt or something to the bottom of that wooden case on top of the machine. I don't want to see any scratches resulting from it being up there.
Respec.

I have 2 of these 6 case coolers. I think they are great as well - they hold a bunch of bottles and you don't need to keep change close by. I bought both of mine off ebay, they were in Iowa - I paid $ 250 for one and $ 150 for the other. Haven't tried them yet to see if they work -
Your machine looks nice. Mine are much rougher than that.

Hey Kito - One of them was about 20 miles south of Waterloo - which is North Central Iowa - it was the first one I bought - the people ended up delivering it to our shop so I paid an extra $ 50 - but it was worth it. Saved me about 4 hours of driving.
The other one was in Villisca - it was about a 3 hour trip - it was at an antique store - so bought some wooden pop crates while I was there.

I heard there is a guy in California who has one that needs work, and he's only asking $4500.00

The story of this machine was actually pretty interesting. Acting on a quick tip, I got over to a house in San Francisco, which was of course, perched on a big hill. On the way, I rented a dolly and basically rented a guy off the street corner to help me move this thing...
When we got to the house..an old Victorian, it was dark with disturbing monster / creature masks and costumes on the wall...imagine finding yourself in the Pawn Shop in Pulp Fiction....yes, the one with Maynard and the Gimp....I felt uneasy to put it mildly..I'd take the Griner Brothers from "Deliverance" any day of the week over this palce....
My "partner" and I, though we did not speak the same language, looked at each other and understood without saying a word that if some weird stuff went down, I had his back and he had mine.
Well, everything worked out fine actually...but we had to take that machine down three flights of stairs..these were narrow and steep..it was difficult to maneuver the dolly and at times we didn't use it....it was ridiculous. my back has still not fully recovered from getting that thing down to the street level. Was it worth the 300 dollars I paid for it...the verdict is still out on that pending a physical but was it worth it to go "Junk'in, pick up a random guy on the street, race over to San Francisco, enter a creepy house, break our backs carrying an old coke machine down the street in the Snob, I mean Nob Hill neighborhood of SF? Priceless!

Hey Vendobaldtops, where in the Bay Area are you from? I'm originally from Palo Alto and miss it alot. 
It's good to hear a story about the city and I can totally picture what you encountered!! That's a riot!

Brian,
I am from Berkeley. Grew up there and went to the University there. After living in DC for two years (got my Masters) and working in Germany (Lars, we will have to touch base..I was in Munich and Frankfurt), I've settled back in Berkeley. Can you blame me, it was 75 degrees yesterday!
I imagine you are a Stanford fan but I think our common base in soda machines erases those differences I am finding quite a few machines coming out of the Palo Alto area and farther south into San Jose. In a previous post, I mentioned that a guy cleared out an old Grapette Bottling Plant in Redwood City a few mmonths back and I bought an 81D off a guy a few years ago that came out of a Stanford dorm. I still shake my head on the Grapette one..with real estate prices being what they are here in the Bay Area..I can't believe that a family was doing nothing with their warehouse for 30 years...I think they just sold it for a couple of mil. Anyway, that gives me more hope that some of the old factories and warehouses in Oakland and Richmond (where they built the Victory Ships) still have some machines sitting in them...if you come back to visit, let me know....there is an awesome swap meet on an old naval base out here that usually has a few coke machines, coolers, and signs....

Kito,
By the way...that was an amusing comment / swipe you made at San Francisco...I'll have to choose my words more carefully next time! Just kidding. Have a great trip to Mexico, make sure to drink lots of tap water!

Yeah, I'm a Stanford Fan..... Even though it was kinda cool when I was growing up...Our family dentist went to Berzerkly and could list on his resume that he was Oskie the Bear for his Jr. & Sr. year! We used to go to the "Big Game" every year! It was also pretty neat when they had the Superbowl at Stanford. Yeah, like I said before, I totally miss the Bay Area...
I assume the swap meet you are talking about takes place at the former Alameda Naval Station. That would be cool. I have every intention of getting back there in the very near future. I used to stomp around up there near Berkley (El Sobrante/El Cerrito).
There's just nothing like getting a steaming hot bowl of clam chowder in a sourdough breadbowl over near the piers in 'frisco.....<sigh> Anyways, good to see somebody in the Sovereign State of Northern California that shares "The Affliction"

Just messin' with ya'.
Actually I absolutely LOVE San Francisco (and the whole area). I've been there a few times and it is my second favorite city in the whole country. I LOVE it there.
By the way, you San Fran guys have got to drop by my favorite San Francisco secret, a place called "Golden Boy Pizza". Oh man it is so good! It is a tiny little hole in the wall and caters to the tattoo'd, young and grungy, but YUM those rectangles of pizza are like Heaven!
It's in Northbeach at 542 Green St. (Grant Ave.) at Jasper Alley.
Man I wish I were there right now. That's it, forget Mexico, I'm goin' to Golden Boy Pizza!

Kito, still rolling on the floor from that one.
Moving a 110 is hard enough on flat land. Hint: removing the door and shelves makes it a lot easier to carry down stairs

Hey Glen,
We did remove the front door and shelves and it still sucked...that #### door seemed to weigh more than the cabinet!
Kito, I'll will check out Golden Boy Pizza but my favorite is Zach's in Berkeley and Oakland. If we every get enough bodys from SMC out here one day, we'll go there!
Brian, I am very familiar with El Cerrito and El Sobrante. I used to have a place in Albany and hang out at the Ivy Room or IV Room as we referred to it after a long night....and Club Mallard. Of course, you can't forget The Hotsy Totsy...
Brian, I'll buy you a beer at Ed's on Dam Road when you make it out here.
To the rest of SMC, we've gotten off topic a bit here, but it it just strengthens the SMC community...soon we'll have SMC chapters...I would volunteer for Bay Area chapter
