Hey racerx45!!!!!

[Eric]

RacerX45...
 You seem to be in the know when it comes to dispensers...
I have 3 (adding the third this past Sunday from a swap meet.)
First question on my mutiplex Pepsi (Motor boat type)
There is a rubber molding/gasket all away around the top.
This is dry-rotting. Cannot find anything close to it and it is
not repro'd. So before I start to restore this I'm afraid when
removing it there's gonna be this huge seem or gap... but
then again there may not. (It's similar to the Coke one you
have on your site that you were restoring with the little
Coke embossed signs.) I cannot tell if there is a gap or if I can get along without it.
The Dole Delux, The one I just bought Sunday ($175) Solid,
great color, of course a few scratches and little surface rust
spot But was, I thought, a steal! only thing missing is the pin
that goes into the inside tank. Do you or anyone you know
have an extra one?.... Yeah I know... extra one... like they
grow on trees?  But hey?! thought I'd ask.... and while asking
for that.... My other dispenser A Dole Motor boat, (not the
Delux) has the wrong chrome glass holding grate thing on the front it came with the right little grate (more square)
but no holder...then I have a grate from a Delux (one end more rounded) and the holder it goes into.
Do you or someone you know have the right holder for the more squared grate?......
Well alright... there we go.... Eric's questions and wish list.
Thank you and to anyone who can help. '>

Hi Eric,

Ok I will try to cover all of your questions. The Pepsi Multiplex motorboat dispenser that you have is a later version of the one I am restoring. The rubber gasket around the top is a real pain in the you know what. They are one of the first things to go and very hard to deal with once they fall apart. Mine dose not have the same rubber gasket, if you look at the before pictures you will see four metal trim pieces instead of the large rubber gasket. I am not sure what yours would look like with out the gasket, I know someone that has one and will ask them what they think about it.
The Dole Deluxe is a great deal for $175.00 (as long as it has the round coke sign that goes on the back of it). As for the pin that is missing I am not sure of the part you are asking about. Can you take a picture of where it goes? As for replacing it I do know a guy that buys a lot of them to resell or for parts so once I know what you need…
The Dole motorboat is most likely the Dole Super and the drip tray is what it sounds like you are missing. The good news is that the grate is the harder part to fine so having that is a good thing. The other good news is that I believe the Dole Citation used the same drip tray (the grate is the same) so it should not be too much trouble finding a replacement drip tray. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Steve...
 Going to try and add images of the dispensers
First is the Pepsi Dispenser for the rubber gasket
then the Swap meet special that needs the pin/rod
that goes into the smaller tank. Thanks for any help or direction.

[Eric]

And the inside of the Coca-Cola dispenser.....
(Jim can you send me a how-to guide on placing these
images on better?......) these are .jpgs at 72 dpi at 4"X3"
Sorry these look so small........
Anyway nice dispenser for the price... been a dry summer
for me.. This and a Squirt A1 with side handles is all I've
found.... so far......

I think racerx45 would have your answer... I can't see
why they can't be hooked up to work, it would be a matter of getting the correct nozzles and fittings. I just don't have that information. But I'm sure someone has pamphlets, or booklets
with the correct info you will need.

Good Luck.

P.S.
To anyone reading this I still am looking for the drip pan and
backslpash that holds the little square shaped grate for a Dole Super.

Thanks....
Eric
