Title: Anyone know what this is?
Post by: sodaworks on June 12, 2007, 11:24:46 pm
I ran across this today. It is a 10 cent round top machine with the middle vertical section protruding out a few inches more than the rest of the front door. The bottle door is on the right hand side and the cabinet is slightly wider than a 110. The bottle gates were different as well. Anyone have a clue what this is and it's value?

Terry,

Are you purchasing this machine...?
I would like more info as I have never seen this model before either...

Neither have I. It looks similar to the ideal but the door is on the wrong side and the center piece only goes half way up on th eideal. This is a really odd machine. You should get it just for the sake of getting an unknown round top. What do they want for it?

It belongs to a guy that just did some pinstriping for me. I'm not sure if he'll sell it or not. I will probably try to get it from him if and when we as a group can figure out what it is and what it's worth. Jim, I will get you some good photo's of the machine next time I'm in the area. He's about an hour from me. This guy's an old hotrodder and has some really cool stuff. He has gas pumps, a 31 old school roadster, 48 chevy sedan delivery, Motorcycles and scooters, 51 Mercury custom, early 60's nostalgic dragster and the original "Streamliner" built by the bean Bandit's that set speed records at Bonnieville, El Mirage and some 1/4 mile drag strips.

That would be a really neat addition. I would love to see some more detailed photos of it as well. Keep us updated, Terry!
