Title: What's up with the first photo in this E-Bay listing? Post by: mznb1u on February 21, 2009, 09:26:04 am http://cgi.ebay.com/1950s-Coca-Cola-Machine-VMC-33-w-Water-Fountain_W0QQitemZ160317095607QQihZ006QQcategoryZ13734QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
If I was inclined to bid what this guy is asking :oops: --and I'm not--I would be a bit concerned by that first photo. It almost looks photo-shopped. :glare: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: What's up with the first photo in this E-Bay listing?

The only good thing about them is if they left the copper coils inside, with the price of copper the way it is or was a few months ago. I see he chromed the doors, a pretty expensive item now. I had a buyer once that wanted the doors chromed so I had them done and they looked pretty sharp unless you want to keep them close to original.

Post by: sodaman on February 21, 2009, 06:59:10 pm Most of the time on those split doors polishing didn't work very well, the castings were full of defects that Vendorlator filled in before they painted them. Chances are if they are just polished they are not very attractive upon close inspection.
