Title: Pics from Dallas Swap Meet
Post by: Seven181 on April 28, 2008, 07:03:55 pm
Here are some pics from the Dallas Swap Meet last week. Big event, mostly cars, auto parts, gas pumps and a few soda machines and signs. Prices seemed high. The guy wanted 7k for this beat up 7up 81.

Brian,

Do you know if the round yellow machine was an American Vendor...?
On another note, have you attempted to create a Photo Album within the "Shows & Events Album" and upload the photos there...?

Jim,

It was an American Vendor. The guy said he was not selling it. It was a beast! I have not tried to create a folder for shows.

      First I want to thank you Brian, and Curtis for taking the time to post and
share with us, pictures of events we could not attend!  :happydrinkers:
      Next...can anybody identify that transitional Coke machine with the crank
handle?
      The 7up machine looks like just a 7up door mounted onto a re-painted donor
cabinet, not that it matters as to value.

The transitional is just a Transitional V56 with a solid door painted all red. Was it embossed???

Brian ~ Thanks for sharing these photos!  Looks like I'll have to make a trip up to the Dallas Swap Meet next year!  There may be some parts for my cars I'm working on, as well as a machine or two.  I sure would love that 7up, but don't quite have that much in the budget for an unrestored machine.

I was only there on Wed, the first day of the show. Seemed like the prices were high, but guys were willing to trade. Not much soda stuff, but tons of gas and car stuff.
