Title: Re: Orange Crush Very Cool! Post by: bubba on November 09, 2008, 10:02:23 pm Jeff.... I've got to come see your collection... one of these days... I'm only 20 min from you..
Title: Re: Orange Crush Very Cool! Post by: RC kid on November 09, 2008, 11:25:30 pm I wasn't going to say it, but I would have left it original too. We americans tend to over restore things, taking from them, there original charm, and the reason we were drawn to them in the first place.
Title: Re: Orange Crush Very Cool! Post by: MoonDawg on November 09, 2008, 11:33:35 pm I think it deserved a restoration, it's so cool.

I run one soda machine and all the jukeboxes run, they must be used or you get problems with the mechs.I wonder if other soda companies had similar street vendors?? Never seen one before. And Jeff....do you use any of your stuff or is all for display? Title: Re: Orange Crush Very Cool! Post by: mrsoda on November 10, 2008, 01:21:59 pm Nice, but I too would have left it original. I would have left alone, but a lot of bad rust on the inside from ice over the years, i felt if i did not redo, one day would start to find holes thru the embossed panels.Title: Re: Orange Crush Very Cool!
