Title: "Segregated" 144 Post by: Bruce on April 22, 2016, 04:43:29 am This showed up in my auto alerts from Craigslist. I have no idea if this was sanctioned (I really doubt it) or was something that was modded. But it sure is a sign of the times that were.
A Vendo 144 with two water fountains attached, one on each side, one for whites and one for blacks. I just thought it was a real novelty and thought I'd post it.

I don't see anything that would indicate the w/b connotation either. Regardless, I hope it was cheap. Title: Re: "Segregated" 144 Post by: sodahunter on April 23, 2016, 10:45:16 am I wouldn't take that model for FREE! X2. Could have been configured for use in a high traffic location. Title: Re: "Segregated" 144 Post by: MoonDawg on April 23, 2016, 11:44:38 am I'm guessing that pair of porcelin water bubblers would pre-date the machine by about 15 to 20 years.
