That is great!! Like the "Do not abuse equipment" sticker. The realism on the side cap decal is outstanding. Any chance of getting a straight on picture?
Excellent score Joey!!

Great Machine. I live in Buffalo and there are more Pepsi vintage machines in my area then Coke. I like to restore both Coke and Pepsi soda machines. The Pepsi blue and the Coke red compliment each other in my game room. I woild love to see additional pictures. This is a picture of my 1947 GE Double. I has more embossing then any machine I have ever seen. Thank God my hand stripper is a friend of mine.

very nice cooler it looks great. ive noticed the east coast has alot of pepsi machines, I bought my VMC 88 out of PA, a squaretop 56 out of VA. They all seem to come from the east. this one however came from New Mexico. i'll get more pics of it hopefully the key will arrive today.

Brian that is a stellar paint job. Finally another GE cooler. Would you mind taking a look at this thread on my GE wet cooler. I'm looking for pics and or directions on how the system goes back together and what all the parts do.

bcharlton,
I have the half size to that pepsi cooler. It is complete except for one piece of stainless trim. Trying to locate one.

WOW!... You can't get much cleaner than that!.... That is a super clean, rare machine!
Way-To-Go! Nice, straight, no rust out, nice clean liner, shelves and the mech looks great...
Again you can tell that it's a West machine and hasn't sat out in Missouri Humid weather!
You got a keepr there Joey!
Congrats on a great machine!

Nice machine Joey. This is one I gotta add to my collection.

I agree, I like it so much I may add another someday, It looks good with a VMC 88 next to it. I pulled the door liner out the wiring to the ballast looks brand new, The bright blue paint under there has day one shine. definatly a rust free machine.
