Just curious. It runs. No pics of the inside. I'll get them later.
Thanks!

Interestingly... The only reference I can find to the model (other than the plate on my machine) is this - http://www.sodajerkworks.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=676&cat=8

Jennandspence,

I know Pat Pixley will tell you that "Friends don't let friends buy woodrain" but you have to save that barrel decal!  :hopefull:

Having grown up in Detroit as the son of a pharmacist, I know that Jim Vernors was a registered pharmacist and that his ginger ale is "a one of a kind soft drink"!  Especially when it is poured over Stroh's French Vanilla ice cream to make a Boston Cooler.

As far as the rest of the machine, I think that the yellow and green color scheme incorporating the Vernor's Gnome is the best!

I used to sit on the curb across the street from the Vernor's plant on Woodward every year for the J.L. Hudson's Thanksgiving Day Parade when I was a kid.  I always liked the big neon sign with the gnome.

Good luck with your restoration!

Tim

JohnieG, Had something like this and sold it a little while ago  .
There a big machine  I think if a redo is going to happen
 I would go with that Vernor's yellow  to make it pop.
  I would also have that barrel copied.

  If this is a buy and turn around and sell ,We need to see
better photos  (all 4 sides and the inside)  before a price
can be given.
