Post by: Tom on November 07, 2006, 11:26:58 am
Can anyone direct me on where to go to get infor for a 7up machine from the late 1960s?  I have one and would like to restore it.  Attached is a picture of it.

I've found the best people and information about anything soda at www.soda-machines.com.  One thing about the people on that site though.. .they love pictures--- if you can post a picture or two of your machine, you will get all the help you need.    :happydrinkers:

Looks like an early Dixe-Narco glassdoor with the push-button inside the door for each selection, someone else here posted a simular machine in the summer...

It does look like a Choice-Vend VU-12-120 on the outside, but the vending racks look different.

usually on the sides of the machine, sometimes on the inside on the main door.

Hi ,Tom
             The ID Tag should? Be on the right side of machine abought the hight of the lock (mid way ) If you look at the pictures of the Canada Dry Choice Vend You can see the BLUE ID TAG on the right side half way up .It's in the same place as my Buddys Machine & His ID TAG is Blue also ..
