Title: Funtronics Calendar
Post by: pinballdude on March 28, 2015, 09:55:29 am
What's the story behind the MARCH calendar page? That's an unusual (to me anyway) bottle rack on that Victor cooler. I guess that's what it is? Anyway, the MARCH machine is awesome!!

It's a rare proto type machine made by Victor. From what Joe told me the grandson of the guy who use to own the Victor Co. brought this to Joe to restore. I don't think we will find any of these out in the wild. This is a one of one that the grandson wants to keep in the family.

Is that a bottle rack or something else on the side? It looks sharp, all the chrome as opposed to the wire we are used to seeing.

It is a bottle rack.
What is the purpose of the rack being hinged? Cleaning behind?
