A friend of mine just yesterday ran across two original Mills120B's Pepsi machines in a building around town, no surprise as this is a big autoplant area, question is do you think they worth "fetching" he says both are complete one with a little gafitti on it, he'll try to get some pic's they ARE Heavy! he's a big guy and he could hardly budge 'em! hate to see them scraped, but I'm not sure if these Big Boys from the early '50's are worth the effort to transport/store? I know Mills-machines are built like brick outhouses and are top quality in manufacturing.But aren't the most "collectible" so I'll leave this open to review & options from you guy's[ too bad they aren't the embossed "Coke"] somebody ought to luv-em. my wife say's no more adopting "orphines" this year! 
Jim I'll borrow a shot from the soda machines gallary so everyone can get an Idea what the beast's look like , thanks(in "Coke") ...JohnieG

Just for clarification, it's a Mills 120...
Johnie,
That's ashame the wife won't left you bring them home...
It's always a waste when machines from this era are destroyed. If they're complete, there's a good chance they can be made to operate properly again! The unfortunate thing is that they are bulky and heavy. Worse case senerio, strip them of ALL the parts... I hate to see them disappear though...

Thanks for pointing out the typo Jim, Yes they are 120B's I corrected it in the Body of the post but couldn't change the title of it, if you can, please do, thanks , I was thinking along the same lines and would try to salvage as many parts as possible, PS one STILL RUNS!, the other... wont turn on, he didn't have time to play whith them long, maybe later, hopfully not TOO late

Boy what a find !! Two of them . Johnie, in Jeff Walter book
they are listed at $1,250.00 Restored shape in my pepsi
book there listed at $1,200.00 restored . You could always slip
it over to a friend house and hide it there, you know like the guy that buys the Harley cycle and the wife told him no so he hide's it over to a friends home. Well you could strip them for the parts. And I was going to talk to you I found two machines A 7up La crosse and a pepsi machine .
