Title: Flavours for cornelius pepsi vendor
Post by: Skeleton Man on November 05, 2005, 03:19:23 pm
Can someone list me 3 flavours besides pepsi that were around when pepsi used this logo:



My machine has 4 flavours.. pepsi has an original flavour stip, the rest have brown peices of paper with "coke, diet coke, and sprite" written in black marker.

I plan on selling the machine, not stocking it, so I just need 3 easy to find flavour strips that match the age of the machine.

Also, does anyone know where I can find a new foil-cal that says "Deposit Nickels, Dimes, Or Quarters" ? Also need a foil sticker for the price.. 25c, 50c or 75c would do.. (original says 50c.. silver patch above "Coin Insert")

I would say Pepsi, Sprite, Coca-Cola would be a safe bet. I bet you can find their retro lables somewhere.
As for the other an orange soda, Tab or rootbeer would do. Plus Dr Pepper.

Hope that helps.

Not sure where to get the foil label. i missplaced my Funtronics book.
Maybe someone can help.

Was there ever such a thing as a pepsi vendor selling coca-cola products or vice versa ? I've seen coke and dr pepper together, but never coke and pepsi..

Thanks for the suggestions..  I just googled "tab soda" to find out what it was.. looks like it's the pre-cursor to diet coke.. interesting.. :D

You think one of these would be the right style ?

Or sell it "as is" and let the buyer choose product and labels?

The size of the buttons in the pic ? If so then how much for a couple of them ? not picky about flavours..

I want to make the machine look neat because it's cost me $175 thus far ($100 machine, $75 parts) and I doubt I'll even make $200 from selling it coz it's not a popular machine like a V56 or V63, etc..  (I don't expect a fortune from it.. but if I can pretty it up enough to make $200 - $250 it would be nice)

From my dealings when I was a partner in a party store, machines (and coolers for that matter) owned by the soda distributor were only stocked with the product they carried. I would constantly have the Pepsi sales manager threaten to cut me off because I had a row of Faygo products in the store cooler. I think you would see more mixes (Coke/Pepsi, Sierra/Sprite) in machines owned by a vending company.

Definately add the flavor strips, it's little detail like that that will help sell the machine.

Do you think it would make much difference in resale value with or without the indicator lamps in the flavour buttons ?  I think they act as sold out lights too.. (either they're normally on and go off when the row is empty, or normally off and turn on when the row is empty.. haven't tested)
