Title: My new cup machines!
Post by: Seven181 on March 27, 2009, 11:02:40 pm
Never have seen 7up cup machines before! Excited that I got these! Have to pick them up still, but cool 7up cup machines from the 1950's. Got the lead from Frank on this site! Thanks Frank!   :drinking: :happydrinkers:

Wow those are cool looking. I like the 7up signs on the front. Do they light up? They are in great condition. You decided to collect a good kind of machine since cup machines are almost always inside. What is the manufacturer? Can you post the insides? And yes 1950's square tops?????

The guy told me that they are Victor cup machines made in 1958. Said his Dad worked at the plant and got these long ago. Have been in storage for over 25 years. The front does light up. I think they are really cool. I found a Victor CP 401 on the soda machines listing and it looks similar to this machine. Will let you know, when I get them.

Nice find Brian.  Want to see the inside also, as I have never see the inside of a cold cup vendor before.

I'm glad you ended up getting them. I thought you would like them. Make sure you send some pics once you get them.

Are you going to restore them? did you finish your coffee machine?
