Post by: red-hungarian on December 16, 2008, 05:51:29 pm
Where can someone get repros of these inside plates? (pictured below)

There is no repop available, you will have to either find them, or make them

How big are they... I might have some embossed panels that where cut from a picnic cooler that I could sell?
Let me know

That's an idea The space is 5 1/2" X 13 1/2" There has to be a die in existence to replicate these, I imagine they would be needed for almost all of the wd10's out there. It's pretty rare to find these intact with machines. They rusted out most of the time.

The reproduction of the sign isn't hard, it's getting permission from Coca~Cola that is the proverbial "Camel throught a needles eye". Even if you happen to own the original Die-set, you can't make any without Cokes' OK. (legally anyway)

Technically they could be made, as its in the restoration of a original Coca Cola machine, You however cannot make them and sell them without a license. or make them and stick them on a candy machine, cash register, or gumball machine and pass them off.

My local signmaker HAS a license and legally can make me decals for my Coke Machines, he cannot legally make me decals for other uses. he actually contacted Coke and they gave the a ok on anything originally coke as long as its a restoration and not fantasy. The only person or people who could make this and legally sell it would be Funtronics, Or someone with the capabilitys and license with permission from Coke.

Post a pic - I've probably passed over a few of these thinking that they were cut out of a picnic cooler or something. What size are they?

I have nearly completed a full restoration on this machine, including refridgeration.  Mine was all orginal and did NOT come with the liscense plates on the lid liners.  I believe the reproduction lids liners
with a raised portion on the lid liner to put the liscence plate on them.   If anybody has an extra set, or the capabilities of making a set I would be interested...


If anybody has anh other parts for this machine I need some please PM me.
