Title: Selectivend S-48 Dr Pepper Photos Post by: GreginNM on February 29, 2008, 11:24:29 am Well, I know how much everyone loves to see pictures...so here are a couple of shots of our (my wife's) S-48. We bought it about 9 years ago in Ft. Walton Beach, FL from Jeff Ring, who also completely restored it. The inside was painted, but it wasn't detailed to the degree I have seen many of you guys do (JohnieG's V-39)! We used it regularly until a couple years ago, when the freon line developed a leak inside the box and bled out. I got a $300 quote from a guy here to patch, replace the dryer, and recharge the system, so I just have to get on it. It also has a couple of nicks in the paint from moving 4 times since we got it.
I'll get some shots of our Atlas Senior DP as soon as I get it out of storage and into the soda room.

I had a 7up version of that machine once and it was a solid machine. they are heavy though.

I'm in the process of repro'ing the Round 3D-Pepsi Cap sign & mounting ring for these machines (the SureVend P-47 (and the ChoiceVend CV-68, in the mold making stage right now)

One day I'll get mine done. I believe these machines are framed with wood like the V110's, which accounts for their weight. If the wife has all the DP stuff, why is she balking at the Atlas Junior? Title: Re: Selectivend S-48 Dr Pepper Photos Post by: GreginNM on February 29, 2008, 03:04:21 pm I guess she doesn't want to overrun the house with "stuff". We have a lot of antique radios and furniture, which I need to start thinning out. I have always been a natural collector, and have to watch putting too many irons in the fire (soda machines, radios, beer cans/trays/etc., antique furniture, old cars, coins, need I say more?). I think I may have her sold on the DP Atlas Jr., but of course now I found something else as well. I found a Stoner Jr. for $200 in good shape. Ah, it never ends...
