Title: siphon mix soda machine
Post by: mrsoda on June 05, 2009, 03:12:12 pm
thought i would like to share photos of the coke siphon mix soda machine made 1929, it was a cup vendor that used no electric power, the insides are wood, you filled with ice, syrup, water and had a co2 tank inside, this is the only one known to exist, It was restored by vintage vending a few years ago, had new sign made for top and we framed the original sign, which was rough, This is the pride of my collection.

I remember VV putting it up on eBay with a $10,000 opening bid (I think?).
Another nice machine Jeff - would be the pride of mine too!

I really do think you need to give some serious consideration to producing a book of all your lovely
bits and pieces...

That machine is just fantastic....

Truly spectacular looking machine!  I've always admired the look of that machine.  I MUST find the other one of those that is lurking in someone's shed right now!

A book would be awesome!  Please make it happen!   :hopefull:

Maybe put photos on a DVD?
Don't know if your book has text.
A DVD would probably be cheapest, no minimums,
can you make one at a time?

Although a printed book with text with a description of the machine and any history it may have would be cool. It could even be spiral bound at Kinko's or something. I know I would buy one.
