Title: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: Sodak Bob on September 30, 2008, 06:51:59 pm Any idea what model this Dole dispenser is and what it is worth?? I don't really have any idea what I have here, but I liked it. The tank and machine are in very good original condition. It is missing the sign on the back - i wonder if Funtronics or Soda Jerks have any originals. Any comments are much appreciated.

http://www.sonic.net/adcom/dispensers.html I've lost out in bidding wars when the price went above $500, your mileage may vary. Funtronics I think used to carry a repro medallion, authentic ones do show up on Ebay . I like it, even if you don't use it, it has a cool factor of 10+ even displayed Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: Sodak Bob on September 30, 2008, 08:09:56 pm Thanks, It does appear to be a Deluxe... I gave about half that amount ($260) to be exact. So I don't think I got hurt too bad. It displays great and I'll find the back medallion sonewhere...Thanks again...
Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: Eric on September 30, 2008, 09:03:43 pm Yep! That's a Deluxe... I have one too.. got mine 3 years ago at a swap meet... I went early..
I mean EARLY I was using a flashlight when I came up on it... $175 I didn't even want to haggle as a guy was right behind me and I know he'd have taken it at that price.... They uselually go for $500+ on eBay complete... so you did great!... I've seen medallions on eBay before but wasn't there picture of Funtronics stock room that Curt posted with these sitting around... check with them... But one will show up! Heck you might be their FIRST new customer!.... Congrats on the dispenser! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: SIGNGUY on September 30, 2008, 11:06:21 pm Yep Dole deluxe... Great little display item, I too have one ... Occasionally parts machines show up , missing lids or badly rusted and most have the medallion, so might be able to pick it up that way as well.
Nice score! nice clean original! Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: davethebirdman on October 01, 2008, 12:06:05 am I think you did very well... I paid over $100.00 just for the stand a while ago... And had to wait an eternity for it to come up... Dave Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ?

Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: Sodak Bob on October 02, 2008, 04:34:13 pm I have not had any luck finding the back medallion.... Nothing at Soda Jerk and the new funtronics won't be taking orders until Oct 6th. I have heard that Steve kept his inventory, so i am doubting that the new owners would have an original. I will keep an eye open, just thought i would ask others to do the same... Thanks !!!
Title: Re: Dole Coke Dispenser ? Post by: Eric on October 02, 2008, 10:32:04 pm Hey Steve!... Got a medallion in that pile anywhere?... Help a fellow collector out! :hopefull:
I bet if he's got a extra he'd sell it to ya! Can he still be reached at that number? Meanwhile be sure everyone here will be watching for you.... We helped find Dave a base we surely will find you that medallion... it'll pop up! :happydrinkers: |
