Is creating a fantasy machine really, really frowned upon? I'm just throwing this out for fun.
What if you had and extra generic slider? What would you turn it into? If it were me, I'd turn it into
a brand that is relatively unusual. It would have to be colorful. Maybe a regional flavor...or something not seen too often.
Green River, Cheer Up, YooHoo, Howel's, or a different flavor Crush. I think a purple machine for a grape flavor would look good. But then the yellow machines with the Black coin mech is great too.
I really, really like seeing photos of your machines. A row of different 81s, 63s or sliders look soooo cool.
BTW I realize that any fantasy machine would have to be for my personal collection only. My family wouldn't pass it off as real when I wasn't around anymore. I think!

I consider fantasy machines a cool thing, as long as, like you said it wasn't meant to dupe a potential buyer.

Generic sliders were decaled by vendors all the time.. I've Seen Bubble Up, Cheer Up, O-So Grape
machines look great...
A few years back a guy took embossing from a Squirt slider and welded it into a Vendo 39 looked awesome
and for a Squirt collector how cool that would be to have...
I think a 56 rt in all Pepsi blue would be awesome... just cut the embossing from a 33 to fit...
I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you're up front with it if and when the time comes to sell...
To me it's like cutting up a classic car to make a hotrod.

Being from Maine, I still want a orange moxie machine filled with moxie. I thought that the Jacobs 26 would be perfect for that but it has the small bottle issue to make it work, but it would likely be an generic slider if it ever happens.
I've been told that a common fake... intended to deceive.... is the VMC 81 with the RC Cola welded in from another machine.

I had a customer called me last week looking for a Bubble-up slider.
I told her I don't have one....never seen one...but I could make her one!

I saw a coke 81 turned into a vmc rc 81. Guy said he was going to do it for himself and then ended up. Screwing a customer.

was there an RC Cooler that had the proper embossing with "Better taste calls for RC"? I've never seen one...but I want an RC machine bad enough that I wouldn't care if it was a fake - as long as I was paying a lower price than the real RC81's go for, I would be okay with it...still prefer the original, but you can't have everything you want (at least I can't). And I love my OC 81...it's my favorite machine!
