Title: Help needed with identification
Post by: Rookie on October 24, 2016, 10:48:01 pm
Can anyone tell me what model of machine this is and what an approximate value would be? I haven't seen it in person yet so I am not sure how in depth the restoration is. Seller says it is a selvend 71 (I am assuming he means selectivend), but I can't find anything that matches.

Thanks in advance your help.
Ryan

it looks like a select vend 48 (glass door) with the bottle door turned around.

A good looking machine nonetheless. It may be labeled Selvend on the tag. They are Selectivend and Sure Vend depending on the brand of soda. I figure that these may have been like Fawn, Federal, and the other names that Fawn went under, depending on the customer. The bottle door version is certainly the best to find, but these have a limited interest.

Never seen that machine. From the coin door does look like a Select Vend. I like the color but interesting color choice for a Pepsi Machine. Are the letters embossed?

I agree; this appears to be an Selectivend S-48 Glass Door (http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=204&Itemid=14) model, but why the bottle chute under the coin door...?

Great looking machine! Maybe that's the bottle/can opener and cap catcher built in???
