Check out what I picked up today. It appears to be from 1981. What a cool compact model. Perfect for home use!

Great score. Good machines. Light up signs turn up on ebay every once in awhile.

Looks like a nice machine.
Do you guys think that the Enjoy Coca-Cola on the glass is original?

Yes, I believe it is. The 2 that I currently own have the same logo.

You can do cans, 12 oz beer, 16.9 oz 1/2 liters in this, 8 oz little cokes--my fav machine out there. Mine is a 1971 model. Funtronics  can score some crank decals . I got pepsi, dew, coke, a&w, crush stickers from them  :happydrinkers:

I have a machine like yours and it uses unsed bottle caps pressed into place instead of decals. Nice machine.

I guess I'll give that a shot when I get home... I've been trying to think of how I can make something to stick a bottle cap to the nkow...

3M has a product called Command strips that may do the trick, it can be removed without leaving adhesvie goo

Mine has a square recessed indention where the label would be. The cap just snaps in place. I have switched caps, and used old ones that I have flattened a little where they would stay in place. I can't tell from the photo if yours is the same or not.

I think thats a standard.. I bought a few knobs from Funtronics and they were the same way....
