Title: Glasco 50 Post by: MoonDawg on May 20, 2008, 08:57:46 pm Don't mean to brag, but the Coca Cola angels must be with me this year!
As I mentioned in another post, we set up a display at the antique swap meet this past weekend and handed out lots of buisness cards. Yesterday I got a call from a lady who had a friend that picked up one of these cards. Her ex husband had a complete Glasco slider who stripped it down with the full intentions of restoring it. He had also had the slider rack powdercoated and had a new lid made for it. All parts were stored inside the box and the complete machine was wrapped with shrink wrap to prevent rust! She said I could have it for free if I would just come and get it out of her garage! Needless to say, I was there within the hour :jawdrop: Put out the word guys, because great machines are still hiding out there!

I've said this many times here, "You just never know where and when a good deal will pop up!" As Glen stated, people need to know you're looking for soda machines; if you don't tell then, they cannot contact you... Title: Re: Glasco 50 Post by: Larry on May 21, 2008, 08:29:18 am I was wondering what my ex did with my slider????? :tounge: :tounge:

I scanned this brochure, if anyone wants one I can e-mail it! PS....note the coin entry bezel! Title: Re: Glasco 50 Post by: Jim on May 21, 2008, 11:01:44 am Glen,
Could I ask for a higher resolution scan cropped to include just the cooler in the upper right corner...? I would like to use this photo in the Soda Machines Section as it depicts a different version. (With your permission of course...) Thanks ! ! ! :happydrinkers: |
