I just completed a pair of 33's late last week. Both are VMC33 split door machines. The Pepsi machine wasn't a true embossed machine although it was painted twice for coke and twice for Pepsi in its previous life. Petey this is the 33 I got from you. I decided to paint it blue and do it up in Pepsi.

Thanks Terry. If I ever get tiered working as a Nutritionist I just may. I am very excited to finally almost have ONE SWEEET COMPLETED MACHINE. YAHOOO. Currently my wife thinks I have a bunch of garbage at home. We will show her what beautiful machines come out of such.
Cannot wait.

Thanks Guys. I took these two machines and a late model V39 to a antique fair over the weekend. I had several people try to tell me that they were reproduction machines.. It took alot of convincing them that they were indeed restored, but still there was a few people who didn't believe me.. o well, what do you do.

Great restorations. I just bought this VMC 33 embossed Pepsi machine two weeks ago. It needs some body work but it works on a dime and gets cold.
My wife may insist that I sell it now that I have my heart set on restoring an old car.
Any idea what this is worth?
Thanks for the help.

I've seen that Stoner picture of the kid with his arm stuck in the machine - pretty funny! I saw it on eBay I think - is that where you got it?

It is the same picture. After doing some research, I found that is was taken in Germany in the late forties. I am glad you noticed.
Buffalo is still under siege. I ran my power generators in order to save my malt shop from flooding in my basement. My collection is still in tack.

Eric,
The Stoner in the picture in a Stoner Junior Delux. It has 120 candy trays. The standard Jr only holds 102 (I think) Curtis can tell you exactly.
