Title: SureVend Pepsi P-47 Post by: Jcarter168 on October 24, 2018, 07:19:57 pm Recently acquired this Pepsi Surevend P-47. I always liked the round sign on this one, I just wish it lit up. It's a neat little machine, small, compact and very nice looking. Only vends 8oz bottles though so I doubt this will ever vend a Pepsi. Currently have 8oz Dr. Pepper in it. Works great!!

Has anyone ever done this? I'd be interested to see what it looks like. Title: Re: SureVend Pepsi P-47 Post by: mygoose101 on October 24, 2018, 10:18:18 pm Do it, it will look fantastic.

I would still look into lighting up the disk. That would make it sooo much better.

If you want to remove the door liner to drill a hole for the light wiring you have to remove a lot of nails to get the door liner off. It might not be worth risking the damage to the liner. I have the Seven Up version of this machine.

I have the Seven Up version of this machine. Yes, I noticed this when I was looking at the liner. It probably is not worth it to try to remove that liner. I had a chance to get the 7up version years ago and I still regret not getting it. Title: Re: SureVend Pepsi P-47 Post by: SIGNGUY on October 31, 2018, 08:38:33 am I wouldn't mess with the liner either,,, I'd pop off the front lense (looks like 4 screws hold it on), play around with some different lighting to see how it looks before drilling anything.. then if it looks like some simple LED Strip light is all it would take, then drill a small hole to run the power lead through, tape on your lights to the front, install your lense and the deal with the the power supply and cords on the inside to figure out how to wire up.. should be easy.
Good luck |
