I had thought the throwbacks were a limiited run, it's been off the shelves here in Detroit since end of summer.



I just saw it in Florida when visiting my parents this week.

The MD, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper cans were at Target today here in VA. I picked up the Dr. Pepper.

Got my machine stocked now. got 3 different types of mountain dew including the throwback and I got some pepsi throwback in there too. I also got the bottle caps for the labels and now the pop displayed is actually what is in the section. (Thanks Creighton!) Now I just need to get a new coinmech and my machine should be running perfectly.

I was in Costco in Brighton, MI and they have the 18 packs of the throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew.  Kinda took a second look when I saw the Pepsi in the old 70's can.  I forgot to take note of the price but I don't think it was too expensive.

I did some more work on my machine sunday. The pepsi logo on the pepsi selection had the red part so faded that there was no trace of paint left and someone took the logo and put it in upside down so I took on the task to fix it. Amazing how much you have to do to take out a part that is only the size of a credit card. I was also lucky that my roommate bought some "Clear red" model paint that was just sort of translucent (Model Masters Clear Red if anyone needs some). Not good for brake lights like he wanted but works great for light up signs. Anyway I painted the red part and put it all back together. Looks great. Let me know what you think.

Here is what I had to do this to get...

This part out


Here is the final product.

and here it is all lit up.
