I have seen a few drums for sale on ebay. Just a few years ago I sold a nice solid original 100% complete and cooling and could only get $800 for it. It had a big dent in it but would have been easy to pull.

Hey Pat, I'd be interested in 1 of those Jacobs.
 That 1 for $350, if I were you, I'd scoop it. I'm gonna check with a buddy of mine, I think he re-popped the drums a few years ago

I'll check with my buddy this afternoon. If he hasn't got any, I'll take the one out of mine and have some made. I have a great fab guy. He made me a few for the table top coolers before ( industrial Carton)

Do you have a picture of the front (actually side) of the machine. looks like it may be missing more than just the drum.  Does it have the coin mech cover, cap catcher, rejector, mounting plate? I have some spare parts except for the rejector for sale.

         I would say that 4 out of every 5 Jacobs I have seen for sale are missing the drums,
but they are also missing the drum support shaft and that complex ratcheting mechanism.
         So fabricating just the drum might only be a start. As cool as the body looks, I have found them hard to sell because of the non-embossed letters and single vend function. Maybe that is why V-39's have reproduction parts but not 26's?

I have to agree with Pat that it would be cool to have that old Texaco sign.  But I wouldn't put it up without checking with the war department or that sign might end up somewhere else!  And that would make it awfully difficult to sit down! blush
