Title: Glasco Fountain dispenser
Post by: pinballdude on August 02, 2009, 07:38:08 pm
Scored a Glasco Coca-Cola  cup Fountain dispenser, countertop.
There are no serial/model/manufacture plate on it.
It does have the Glasco logo on the front near the drain pan.
There are 4 tap handles, I would like to find a Sprite and a TaB
sticker to place on the tap handles. Would need to be early 60s vintage and
have a protective coating. The stickers are 3/4 inch high and 1-1/2 inches wide.
Two of the tap handles are not attached to the inside of the machine. I see no
way to remove sides, back or bottom to attach something to hold the handles
on. They just slide out. I hope that I can power the light behind the logo by
by-passing the compressor. I would like to use the unit as a display piece
not necessarily a functional unit.
Photos later.

So, does ANYBODY have any experience with one of these?
Two of the tap handles are not anchored to the back of where
they are put in.  I cannot see ANY where to get inside of this machine
If I lift up the side panels, I just see a solid wall. There is no way in
from below. I can see something inside when I remove one of the tap handles
and shine a flashlight in.I don't really want to get the machine running, just
displayable. I have the light behind the logo working I just need to figure
out how 2 handles are loose and 2 are not.
Thanks.
Terry

Terry,

Glad you got the light working!
As far as the dispensing handles are concerned, I cannot advise as I have not dealt with taking this type of dispenser apart...
Hopefully, someone might have experience and chime in...

On a slightly different note...
Know which model machine has the matching
lime green/turquoise blue/white rounded diamonds
around the logo?
I have a clock that matches this particular Coca-Cola
logo and someday like to find the machine that goes with it.
Hopefully it is a small machine!

The sign is called a "StyleStar" Sign. It was a common sign used in the mid to late 60's. I have personally only seen Cavalier 64's with this sign. They come around quite often. Here is a picture of one that I had a while ago. It is about as small as you can get.

I  REALLY like that one!! It matches the fountain dispenser
as the logo *sticks out* away from the machine and had the plastic
cover much like the dispenser.
I may have to look for one of those. I'll have to learn to
live with the woodgrain, eh?

I see several Stylestar machines listed under Glasco (DUH!)
Several pre-mix (cup) machines, several bottle and a few can machines.
Will watch for one local. Hope to find a small one. mybe someone will be interested in my Cavalier?
I gotta go outside to find the model # if anyone is interested.

If you have a Cavalier 64 the sign will work in your machine and they show up on ebay every now and then. Who knows someone here may have an extra laying around. The woodgrain is just contact paper and there is usually nice shinny white paint under it. Just use a hair drier and peel it off.

The ID plate is broken off.
It is a 4 selection push button with 2
drop out holes where the bottle dispenses.
It has a round coin entry to the left of the selectors.
I'll have to look it up on the machines section later.
With my luck, it will be one of those listed with
NO photo! LOL.
