Title: Embossed RC Royal Crown Soda Machine
Post by: COREY on April 14, 2008, 07:24:01 am
Has anyone ever seen a machine like this? Who made it or is it worth $1,000.00. They say it is complete inside.

BOY... my back just hurts looking at it... I can't help on model number, but would say the fact that it is Royal Crown embossed will help it's value... the size is the only negative I see.. looks nice?
HEAVY!!!! :Oo:

That is a cool looking machine. It would be a nice machine to have on a front or back porch. With that said even though it is probably really rare and is cool it is a monster. I would say it is probably worth less than $500. I would run away from it at $1000 unless you really like it. If you want it as a keeper and you really like it this may be the only one that you will ever find. If that is the case and you are willing to pay the money then I would say go for it but if you are wanting to make money on it this is not a good investment.

I would say the same thing.  May not be a machine you could resell very easily or make money with, but definitely a great looking, clean, and scarce machine!  If you wanted one for the house, and you aren't in the military where you are moving all the time, then what a find!  I would definitely try to get that price down if you could.  You would likely be the only one on the block (or this board, for that matter) with one of those.

Jim, might be a good one to add to the pictures under the soda machines archive along side that Coke version!

Corey,

Are you able to take pictures of this machine or did someone send these to you...?
The reason I ask is because I would like to get permission to use a photo or two for SMC, but the angle of these photos would need to be retaken...
