Title: Vendo 56 Logo Area/ Replacement?
Post by: SIGNGUY on December 14, 2015, 04:42:59 pm
I have  customer wanting me to do a Fantasy Machine out of a Vendo 56 RT for him.  We are researching what logos of what coolers / signs would fit in the area once we cut out the Coca-Cola logo on the V56.. the current machine has a big dent in the logo area arlready and would be a nightmare to try to straighten it so figured make a fantasy machines.. he's thinking Pepsi but not sure what embossed logo would work? I'm thinking out of a large Picnic cooler? or other suggestions?

         Seems there would be a problem welding the thin metal logo from a picnic cooler onto the thicker machine.
The double dot Pepsi logo is smaller on 55 sliders, and it since they are plentiful they should be cheap enough.

I think the embossing from the small RT Pepsi 33 would fit.. would love to do a all Blue Pepsi 56
or if not embossing would one of those 81 Dr Pepper signs fit there?

I have been plotting to do a 7up RT 56!

same thought here, thought would be to mount the thinner embossed metal to another sheet giving it some thickness and then mountain that .. I am not the body guy, by body guy does great work and will make it look awesome.. plus it's for him anyway... so I know he'll do a good job!

Maybe hard to find but how about the 7up embossing from a square top 56 along the lower front door.. would that fit along the top of the RT 56..
Still think the Pepsi from a RT 33 would be perfect .. even has the DRINK as the same as a Pepsi 81

If you could manage to get a RC COLA embossing, I think it would look awesome as a little brother to the 81.

Plus, when we all die, there will be a forum out there claiming that these 56 RT RC machines were legit, and we would all be looking down laughing  :laugh:
