Hi guys, my name is Manuel and i am from Argentina
I have succesfully restores 2 CAvaliers 72 and 1 Vendo 39.
Now its time to restore a Jacobs 26.
I was wondering how it would look like to be painted as a Pepsi soda machine.
I tryed to look trought the intenet some pics of pepsi Jacobs 26 but ihave no succes.
I know that the was no jacobs 26 as pepsi.

Here are a couple of pics of my jacobs 26.

I'm pretty sure Ricks Restorations did this one.... (and no, this is not a joke, I really think this was his resto)

It's a Jacobs 35,.... but still lets you see what it would look like as a Pepsi.

YOUR COKE JACOBS LOOKS GOOD!!! If that is original, I say leave it alone!

Yes, i saw that pic in the internet but could`nt find any other
I want to give the jacobs a nice touch

Here are some of my soda machines that i restored here in Buenos Aires

very nice work, they look great...

I agree that jacobs looks too nice to restore though

Thanks
This is a hobbie for me, so i like to restore them to the perfection je
The paint is old and no one polished it when it was painted, so it looks bad

You can't restore that Jacobs.. guys here will chime in with ways to get that gleaming again with a bit of polish.
stuff you can get on the internet if you can't get it in Argentina.

please wait for advice before ripping it down.. Too nice to restore.

Agreed - way too nice to restore, part or do anything with but enjoy it original

that pepsi machine is not a jacobs 35 its a jacobs 26

Your cav 72 and v39 looks fantastic.

And the jacobs looks good as it is. I would save it and try to find another machine in need of paint for making a pepsi. Maybe a v39 all blue with welded in a pepsi lettering or a decal.
I think many of us like to have another brand than only coke in our collections.

Are old soda-machines hard to find in argentina ?

Thanks, too much love they have  :biggrin: :big grin:

Yes, they are very hard to find.
I found one CV-72 and this jacobs 26
The other two CV-72 and one vendo-39 where bought in the US and send by ship to Argentina.

Is the Cav72 and jacobs originally operated in Argentina since 50's or 60's ?

Here in Sweden we only had v81 and v80's in the good ol days. mostly of the others is imported buy car or jukebox collectors since late 80's.

The Cav72 was operated in Argentina, but i also saw some old cavs with square top
I know that other soda machines were imported during the 90's into our country but for collectors.

That Jacobs looks pretty cool in a Pepsi.

is the ice cold on the bottom of the cav 72 embossed?nice work

I realy don`t know what it means embossed  :veryangry: :veryangry:
If you mean that the botton is rusty and leaky, yes

Are the letters stamped into the metal to give it a raised effect

Nop, the HAVE A COKE and ICE COLD were hand painted

That is a Jacobs 35 I saw it in person at Ricks. I should mention thats what I was told I never looked at drum. Only one I've ever seen.

Edit: Now that I think about it they mentioned it was 5500.00 but it didn't vend it was missing insides. Lol. So without that it might as well be a 26. So maybe I still haven't seen one.

        Rick is a little new to this. :glare:  Here is a Jacobs 35:
