I designed that, kind of easy to do and a killer looking piece. Here are a few more photos of it. Curtis, Memory Lane Restorations

I really like that. If it was designed......what machine did it start out as?
I've never seen one.

Great Machines Jeff,, Really love your collection... sure hope to see it in person one day...
I love that air meter.. Those are just really cool, I know there are several different varieties, and I've heard through the grapevine you have some others? sure would love to see them, even though not soda related... still are cool.

I think you just drove the price up on that cookie machine that no one paid any attention to before.

Nice stuff!!

This was the coolest thing i ever had, Vintage vending did the complete restoration about 7 years ago for a guy in wv, curtis body shop repainted the machine, without having to take apart, just taped off and scuffed up and painted over old paint, new decals under clear, came out nice, but i sold it, could not turn down the price that curtis was able to get me, glad i was able to sell then, now would not be able to get half of that in this economy. It was fun to have, vintage vending did a great job on it and the repaint job made it look new, But when some one offers an insane amount of money you sell because , you might never get an offer like this again

The Cracker Jack machine is nice, but I have to say that the VMC 72 is better. That's only because the 72 is my favorite Coke machine. :biggrin:

Jeff did Curtis use decals or are the graphics painted on?

Very nice!!I also love the vmc 72, great machine, vends everything, the one i have was restored by vintage vending, i also have a 96 in my store for customers to use, we sell for 10 cents , we loose money but the customers think it is so cool. having rms vintage restore me a apple vending machine made 1930, will send pictures when done, this guy get the best rare machines out there. He always has a very large collection of machines ready to restore.

I think Jeff was referring to the Fall Chicago Show. I'm just looking forward to going to the Spring Show right now. The Fall Show is a long way off. Been finding plenty of cool stuff locally. A Seeburg "R" and U-Need-A rotary cigarette machine followed me home today.
I've got to say that Jeff has always fed me extremely well, whether I'm delivering him a machine, helping set something up, celebrating a holiday, or just hanging out with the family. He's the definitive Gracious Host and a cherished friend.

You don't happen to know Dan Kwate do you? I sold him a VMC 33 embossed 7up machine like yours and at the time he had a Guiberson icebox for sale and I have been kicking myself ever since for not buying it. I think a lot of people would like to talk to Dan........

Mr. Soda, you have some beautiful machines! Being an auto mechanic you have inspired me to find an old air machine and some other vehicle related vintage pieces...

It's a shame that a Photo Album hasn't been setup in the Photo Gallery (http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=66) to show photos of Jeff's Collection...
This would make access a lot easier for viewing!

Hi Guys,

I am in New Jersey. If you are still intersted either post what you need or send me a PM and I will send you my tel number. All 5 seem complete just no keys for any of them. All are pretty much in the same condition, no dents a little faded paint some do have a thin piece of trim around the bottom that needs to be reattached. I was thinking somewhere around $100.

Thanks for the interest,
Jonathan
