Where did you get the picture? It wasn't on the listing when I went there.

Kind of weird thing happened to me yesterday. I saw the posting and picture for the Pepsi machine posted by Ezra.

Based on the posted photo, I contacted the seller made a significant drive only to find a relatively new square top Pepsi machineat the site! Rats!  :darn:

I showed her the photo of the round top Pepsi posted by Ezra and she looked puzzled! She said that she had never seen a machine like that. She asked me where that photo came from?

Good question.

And yes, I should have asked the seller for a photo myself.  :laugh:

Must be some weird software glitch or something because I see that photo is gone. Lucky I saved it. Here is it.

There was also a RC 81 mentioned in this post. What is that about?

I saw the photo that Ezra posted before (that Brenda has since re-posted).  The only way Ezra's photo got removed was by him, or a moderator. It was no glitch.

What's the deal with the RC 81?  I too am confused.

I think someone scored the wrong medication at the drug store.....

Just sayin.

Brenda.... that sucks that you wasted your time on it... hopefully it wasn't too far? 
MANY times when I'm driving the MANY HOURS to get a machine, I just PRAY  :hopefull: that they will be home like they promised......  I never thought about a different machine being there instead.

I have the solution to this one. When I saw the post, I went to craigslist in Racine and checked it out. There were two "vintage Pepsi Machine" listings. The one he posted ( with the picture) had no picture. The other listing had the picture but it wasn't the listing that was posted here. Interesting Brenda because right when I saw this post I immediately texted and tried to call, but got no response. Strange that after that, the person would let you drive over there to see it ( the wrong one)
Anyway, I did make contact with the person owning the CV68. They had already sold it. Long story about a dead brother and a sister in Chicago wanted the thing gone. The compressor was no good. It sold for $525.00.

Mystery solved

Always a tough situation to arrive after a drive to find the wrong machine!!!  I can't imagine what is was line 15-20 years ago without the technology we have today!

Sorry B!  That's no fun!

Jared,
We called on the phone and discussed the details. We sent pictures back and forth via email, or snail Mail before that. Since we were all in the same boat, you knew what you were going after.

I'm glad that the lady with the "wrong" machine ignored me, sorry Brenda.

I was just looking over some issues of Club Soda. It was just a mere 13 years ago that we all placed want ads in the magazine and waited for the stuff to roll in, and it did. Or you placed a big ad with your stuff and people called you.
The phenomena over the last few years has led to what others have pointed out at Chicago. All the stuff shows up in trucks but it's already sold. It's still exciting, but not as much fun.

Art Bell wrote about it- the Quickening.

Ok, the post and the pic arrived to me from my search engine, a computer glitch. My good intentions of helping the forum resulted in a waste of time for Brenda which sucks! I have helped many here before, again my intentions were genuine .

Brenda, thinking I pulled a prank phoned me and informed me it was the wrong machine but told me the seller had another machine there a rc 81 that the seller " didn't know what they had". My jaw dropped and I was happy for her. I deleted the pic and posted the note about scoring a 81.
