Title: Pepsi machine with auto can opener cans w/no tabs

Has anyone heard of a pepsi machine that vends cans from before pull-tabs. It also has an electric hole punch that will put a hole in the can so it can be drank.  I have one and have never seen or heard of one. hope to hear from someone.

Hello Kyzir,
Welcome to the board! That would be an early can machine, not unheard of. If you could post a picture should be able to sort out exactly what you have.

I used to have a Pepsi V-77 that was an early can machine.
"Now in cans!"  <------  A telltale sign
Those early cans had no pull tabs, so you put the can in a little compartment in the door of the machine and as you pushed down the little door, it would puncture it with a triangle-shaped hole.
And yes, strangely enough, some of those punches has electricity running to them to heat up and "sterilize" the openers! Strange, eh?

I think those machines are pretty cool.
