The Brownie roobeer bottling plant was here in Detroit ( the bottling plant is still physically here, just an abandoned building now, there is still the bottling equipment inside)


I finaly got to totaly taking apart my 110 and Stoner this weekend. It was warm out at last...

I found a few Mercury dimes in the Stoner and these bottle caps in my 110. I'm sure this brand isn't around any longer.

I also know someone that bought an 81 that was locked, when he got it home it had three... three vendo coin changers in it, one was real nice and the other two weren't too bad. Talk about a nice score.

I'll try and post some pics of my dismantled 110 later.

I found many cork backed Canada Dry Ginger Ale bottle caps in the cap catcher on the Heintz.  Probably should have kept a few but I left them in the machine for the new owner when I sold it.

I haven't found anything disgusting yet. I did pay $60 for a coke machine and found $25.50 in the coin mech. Made a good deal a great deal! biggrin

I restored a VMC33 pepsi machine for a client that had enough dog hair in it that I'm sure their pet dog was bald.

        Yes, I too had a machine come in with so much cat / dog hair in the condensor
that it overheated and fried the compressor!
