Congrats!
Looks like it is in great shape.
It is a fun machine, you'll love it! And you already have the side spacers to boot!
As soon as you get done playing with the new toy, I'd love to have a copy or even a closeup of the 10 cent price insert with dimensions.

Wow, never seen one of those. How often do those come around? Now that's a practical machine, Pepsi on one side Bud Light on the other!  :)

I have seen a few come around in the past year; however, Steve Ebner (Fun-Tronics) told me that only 850 of them were produced. You'll see 20-30 single selection 55's for every dual selection.

Thanks Ltransam!
Mine was missing that when I got it! I have Fresca and Coke as my selections, but the Coke has 'Sold Out' printed in reverse on the back and the Fresca does not. When the SO light comes on, it can be read through the opening.
Do either or both or your selections have the 'Sold Out' printing?

Tom
             My Coke Selection is the same as yours .I also found an Original Tab Selection like the coke behind the Cardboard Mountain Dew one .But like your Fresca it's dose not have the sold out on it

I wonder what it would entail to have some made with the 'Sold Out' on the back. I'd love to have a few different flavors to switch in and out.

Another feature on my two selection that I have not had on any of my other machines is the wiring harness. I am pretty sure it is an original Cavalier harness. Instead of an 8-foot line cord coming out of the junction block, it has a simple 3-inch  line with a 3-prong plug and then an extension line plugged into it.

Tom... you can get creative on the computer and make some labels printed on both sides.. it would probably be a PITA, but could be done. You could scan in the original label, print and then print on the back what ever else you want. It would probably take a few tries to get the alignment correct, but once its in there, you have a template for others...

You could also print out some "sold out"  labels and take it to your local quick-print shop and have them make an overhead transparency of it.  Cut it out and place it behind your regular labels. :blues:
