Title: 7up Selectvend
Post by: MCarter on September 10, 2007, 03:12:17 pm
Hey guys a buddy mine has a Selectvend 7up machine and i am unsure of the model. It looks bigger than any selectvend i have seen. It has a spot for a plastic sign and a single shoot for the product. It is lime green and has a crank handle and coin door on it with a sold out glass. Any clues about it or value? Sorry no pictures yet.

Sounds like an S-48

Well i was looking at the 48 before i posted this listing in the soda machine area. This one has only one delivery shoot and it is down low same for the coin door.

Any ideas,

The S-48 only has one delivery chute also down low by the coin door.
Some models had a bottle opener above the chute and others had the bottle opener on the coin door.

The S-48 suffers from the 6 1/2 oz [8 oz.] bottle syndrome.
I have seen them go for as low as $200 and as high as $600.
With as much information as you have supplied, it is hard to estimate.
Condition?...Functionality?...You know the drill!
The one I own has a rectangular porcelain sign-
plastic sign?-
bottle cap??
I have seen 60's versions with the bottle cap, but not the S-48.

      I think they have a neat little nickle tube on the side of the
coin mech that gives change for a dime. This mech will fit all small
coindoor machines.

Not all of them had change-givers.
And yes and no will fit other machines... the rear of the shaft on these is lathed down to 5/16" (I think).
You would need to modify the shaft or switch the shaft out with another.
