Where would a good starting point for price be for my machine I'm thinking about selling. Totally restored and operates very well.

Has the cooling compartment and vending gear/drum been gone through/detailed as well...?
If so, then I would be inclined to state a range between $2500 - $3000

Boy that is a thing of beauty, Does the inside look just as nice
cormy ?  Well I don't think you will have a problem selling this.

It does look very nice; however, you do not have the correct decals on the sides.
They originally said "Have A Coke" - Fun-Tronics sells the correct decal.
Most people will not know though!
If the cooling unit and inside are as nice, I think Jim has stated a good value.

Looks great.
I'd love to see the insides.. how was the front of it prior to restoration... was it all dented in? and how did you go about fixing it if so? ( I ask as i am restoring one too...)

I have the correct decals for the sides and the front of the Pipe stand if you need them. let me know.

 was it all dented in? and how did you go about fixing it if so?


      The door is aluminum and therefore dents easily with a kids fist.
 The good news is that when stripped and laying on the bench, the
same dents can popped out 90% with a rubber mallet

Thanks for the comments. I added a few pic of the inside and a pic of what it looked like before. Yes it was bashed in but like moondawg said they pounded out fairly easily then finish off with some bondo on the front.

I took some liberties with the side decals (how did you see them?) and thought the current ones jazzed it up a bit.

I'm debating selling..but I want a 4 speed trans for my 1966 Mustang. Oh well ..can't have everything. :down:
