Title: vmc 33 pepsi drink machine
Post by: tot on April 19, 2008, 09:18:27 pm
I have a vmc 33 pepsi drink machine that works, cools, and is all original. It has a few dents and some discoloration on side decal.  Would someone please give me an estimated value?

Is the pepsi logo embossed or painted on the machine...

AH. much better... I think those are a little neat machine, I don't currently own one, but think anything embossed is just cool. The thing about these machines is they only vend the small bottles and that turns alot of people off of them from the "Consumer" side of things. Consumers want one they can put pop, beer and water bottles in and use in their gamerooms/garages. Collectors on the other hand buy them to display, but they are quite common and most collectors of Pepsi probably own one or more already so with all that the price stays quite low.  Just my two and a half cents worth.

If I found one around me like that, i'd probably offer 450 - 500 for it just for the "hey it's cool factor", and I don't even like Pepsi!  :glare:

Mr Jim

What's your opinion on my pepsi box.

I think it is a pretty nice looking original!
I'd replace the wiring, t-stat and fans plus give it a thorough cleaning - maybe even replace the broken condenser fan shroud.
It will look pretty sweet!
Do all that ($100) and I'd say the value increases to $1000 or more.
These machines are only original once!

     Exellent advice, first time buyers don't want to tackle any fixing!  :drinking:
