Title: Pepsi Jacobs 50

Have a line on a beat one. Doesn't appear parts are that available for these. I can probably get it for cheap, even worth the trouble? never had one.

It always come back to my basic rule...  If you like & it's affordable, buy it!  If you attempt to resell but fail, at least you have something you like...
Condition & completeness would play a factor on this purchase...

Trouble is, it's in pieces. I know the J56 light up is very popular, this model seems like the "red headed stepson"...
Am I right?

Will try to get pics.

Not embossed. What will you have when re-done?
I concur with Jim. If you fell in love with it, go for it. We’ve all got a few of those projects around.

Based on some additional pictures from the seller, It does seem pretty complete, would the parts be worth say $100?

I don’t see the coin mech, etc.
$100.00? I’d say yes, as long as the internals are there.

If nothing else, it’ll bring more than that at your estate sale, LOL
