Title: "Breakmate" style office cooler
Post by: sledworks on September 02, 2013, 07:53:16 pm
Found one of these tonight. Beautiful condition. Looks to be from the early 80's. Old post on here showed one and said it was German made. Has been sitting for a few years in a nice home garage and got cold right away.

Any idea what these go for in this condition? Are they even desirable?

They are what they are. Nothing special.
$75 tops.

Thanks. Didn't think it was highly collectible. I'll use it in my antique mall to vend sodas.

It's made by a division of Siemens corp, Germany, vends 12-oz. cans, as you've said, it was designed for small offices & break rooms.

Nice that this one has it's optional stand too, (they make nice dorm-room coolers! so your roomies don't drink all of your er...ice cold "whatever"  without paying!  :laugh: )

I saw the things machines regularly on eBay a few years back. Doesn't look like it holds that many sodas. It is rather unusual looking, though. Especially for a branded Coke machine

You see a "Breakmate" compact soda fountain sometimes. Those looks cool, but the serving size seems like it might be kinda small.

I'm seeing more of the soda fountain style with the CO2 and syrups. Many appear to be in use today with parts available.

My unit held 3 different selections, 12 cans each.

Anyone have a brochure for the can unit?
