Title: Just got this awesome cup machine! First Dr Pepper Cup Machine Made for DP!
Post by: Seven181 on July 18, 2009, 07:12:42 am
Well, picked this rare machine up! It is Servit A 250. This was the first cup machine Dr Pepper ever used. Someone took off the DP signs and put on Coke stickers. I am going to restore it to a DP machine. Neat that is has the crank handle and dispenses only one flavor. Also has the overhang on the top to light up the sign.

Only seen one other of those and that was 8 years ago on eBay and the guy wanted a mint for it like $1500. Cool! I'd add one of those light setups to an S-48 if it wouldn't interfere with the badge.
Congrats Brian on getting a Servit!

Excellent find! I love unique looking machines in a brand other than the norm. This is going to be really sharp looking when restored, I can't wait to see it lit up!!

Started to look it over today. It should be easy to restore. I like that the overhang lights up the DP sign!

Its too bad it wasn't originally Coke. That is a really interesting Coke logo on the front. I don't think I have ever seen another like it.

I've seen it before...mainly on signs I think...but still uncommon.

Post by: Seven181 on July 20, 2009, 10:32:13 am
No, this is a Servit 250. The one is my avatar is a Bev-Vend 200.

Ok, Thanks for the correction!
Perhaps I could acquire a good photo of the machine for use in the Soda machines Section since I do not have a photo for reference...
If so, at your leisure... PM me if necessary.

Jim,

Do you want pics of the machines as is or when they are restored?

I love that light up overhang. So retro.  Do those old cup machines have ice makers?


Title: Re: Just got this awesome cup machine! First Dr Pepper Cup Machine Made for DP!
Post by: Seven181 on July 20, 2009, 09:49:24 pm
Not the early cup machines with the crank handles. Some of the later cup machines have ice makers. The 1960's one's. I am into the old school one's, where you fill the tank with syrup and it uses a water line.

9&1/2" x 24" would be too wide I'm sure. This sign most likely was on a chest cooler.

Nice sign! Yea, you might be right Tom. I will measure it tomorrow and find out.

Well, look what I found today under the Coke Sticker! As I suspected the old Dr Pepper logo with holes for the sign! Some neat pics here. Can not wait to see this restored.
