Hello- This is my first post. I have a old movie theatre I bought about 4 years ago. It had a Old Soda machine in it, which is still there. The theatre was built in 1947 and that is probally when the machine was put in. It is the kind that the paper cup dropped down and then filled. The only markings on the front, it says "SPA-CARB" in Metal. I have searched and found no info anywhere on this brand- Just trying to find some info and see if it is worth anything- Thanks,

Neat Machine!  I belive its a "space-carb", (? spelling?) seems to be missing the etched mirror which would go in the top center portion of the front panel, check out Jeff walters 3rd. edition, soda machine price guide. in the back you'll see a space-carb cup vendor but it's not this model though.
I have a Cole-Spa 6A cup vendor from the same post-war era
same type of vending cup-port very art-deco!

Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes.
Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon!
The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p
Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.
