Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: petey64 on July 22, 2006, 10:52:02 pm First off one huge shout out to Mr. Terry Moody of Tehachapi Ca. this is the second machine he has restored for me the first was a vmc-110 which was not an easy one but it came out amazing, but forget that one for now this one is all about it's somewhat lesser cousin the V-90 and the theme that he lovingly applied, the theme is USC Football LA's only pro football team, "all respects to Texas it was your year" but enough yakkin' pictures are below.

Pete.... Wasn't this a Pepsi machine? Who engineered the graphics and colors, and is this going into your office at work? Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: petey64 on July 23, 2006, 10:13:11 am No this one was a Coke machine and a local charity has shown interest, but if they pass it will end up in the office
Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: sodaworks on July 23, 2006, 07:53:30 pm Thanks Guys,
Petey gave me the freedom to design all the graphics and color scheme. I got my idea's from several misc. USC products as well as the USC official site. Paying close attention to thier colors as well as fonts. The tricky part was the paint colors had to be right as well as the graphic colors had to match with the paint. Not as easy as one would think!!! Petey also had supplied some ideas and info. to make this project a success. The hardest part was trying to get a side profile of the USC "Tommy Trojan" helmet. I searched countless hours on the internet, magazines, etc. to try to find it. USC has a tight hold on the logo. Anyways, this machine was a major challange in designing to get the look I was trying to achieve and yes, it was a lot of fun and as always it was a pleasure working with Petey. Its kinda hard to explain but building a machine like this one really makes you feel like you were part of something. I guess maybe knowing that's it the only one that will ever exist!! I'm looking forward in doing more work with Petey. Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: collecture on July 31, 2006, 11:07:08 pm Petey,

Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: petey64 on July 31, 2006, 11:09:27 pm yep i am testing the waters, a charity came by and looked at it yesterday and they said they were going to have their board look into it so i put it up to give them a kick in pants.

What did they think about it? Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: petey64 on July 31, 2006, 11:30:23 pm the two people who came out almost did backflips, they were truly impressed and the other person Norm well he's gonna bring his Westinghouse jr. up to you to get that done up by you.

Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: petey64 on August 01, 2006, 01:58:51 pm It was slated for a charity and they are dragging they're feet a bit so i put it up to get some movement out of them.
Title: V-90 restoration and theme Post by: sodaworks on August 01, 2006, 02:07:37 pm If the Restoration contest is still on the "USC" machine is my entry!!! I'm hoping first place is a vendo decapper machine but I'll settle for a RC81. Ha-Ha....
