Title: Help me ID this Dixie Narco?
Post by: SilverDuck on July 07, 2009, 01:18:07 pm
I have a Dixie Narco with a big scratch down the ID plate.  What I can make out is X60/210-6.  The number marked "X" is wiped out by a scratch.  It is a 2 deep can machine.  The compressor deck is a model 300.  Serial number on machine is 1398-3052AM

Thanks!

Most of the people here are into the older machines... Someone will know the model of this one. I just looked through the list of DN machines in our gallery, and didn't find one to match.

Check out www.soda-machines.com homepage. On the left side is a menu with all the different brands and model numbers we have info on.. The link I sent you to get going here bypasses that page.

Thanks.  I'm pretty sure it's a DNCB 360 - 210 -6, but I can't find any info on that model anywhere.  I'm sure there are more like this somewhere, but I guess no one ever posted anything on the innerwebs about it.

Have you checked out www.dixienarco.com ?
I tried to access their Technical Info section, but got page errors. Lots of phone numbers listed though. It is not THAT old of a machine, so I think your best bet is to contact them for parts, manuals, etc.
Good Luck!

I've tried their website, also getting errors.  What I can tell you is that when I used their 'build date finder', it shows my machine does not exist.  The last 2 of the serial are AM, which tells me it was built in the first quarter of an unknown year.

The inside of the machine says Pepsi Cola, but I thought Ocean Spray was a division of Coke.  Oh well.  I think it's a DNCB 360 -210 -2, but would love to find info of one online to match it against.

It's really not that important.  Thanks for the help!

These are just you basic Dixie cooler, they came with what ever sign you wanted.  I have some that say "Cold drinks, Very Fine, Ocean spray".  The panel are easy to change.

At one time at least in my area of the country Ocean Spray was distributed by Pepsi Cola.
