Cola62,
I would think that the soda machines are a lot like cars. I would be willing to bet you can find a lot of unmolested machines in the midwest. I once found a V-39 without the rack system for $50. It was painted the light green, even though still marked with "Coca Cola". That was in Memphis, back in 1991. I wanted that thing something awful, but alas, I was a young Marine on my way to Hawaii and had no way to ship it anywhere, so had to pass it up. Been wanting one ever since, Coke machine that is. Drop me a line if you know what kind of machine you're looking for and if I come across one, I'll let you know. Email:

Best Regards,
Ken
