Site slowing down and web site

[Bob K]

Good luck with that Frostie - it looks great.

I'm still here.
I check in all the time, but since I don't yet own a Coke machine '> (though I do have a 60's syrup dispenser), I don't speak up all that often.

I am very happy to hear that this site is never going to go away. '>

Hello Everybody,
  I have been popping out of this site for a few months now, the more I visit this site the more I like it. This is really a great site for us soda machine collectors and restoration people to share info., machines, parts and ideas. I am in the central california area and have approx. 50-60 round top machines. I collect pre 1960 soda pop, gas station (petrolaina) and coin op. I buy,sell, trade and perform restorations (year round) in my restoration shop. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a replacement magazine for "Club Soda"? Thanks and keep up the good work on this site!!! Terry

50-60 round toppers - not too shabby, Terry!!  '>

I don't know of any other soda club magazine.
After Club Soda.....uh...stopped.... I called a few
of the Club Soda members and one had a copy of the
member list but nothing that I know of was re-started or
picked up. I found this site and I'm here to stay. I do
miss the stories of finds. My story made issue 30.... I was shopping at a Antique store for depression glass
for my wife and I picked up a Vendo 81 and Cavlier 72 for
$75 bucks each! Whew! Those were the days!
There was a topic not to long ago here that someone asked something like.... What can you get for a hundred dollars... and several responses were posted.
Would love to see/hear more of those stories. Maybe this new year... Unbelievable what is still out there.
Stick with this site it's great! '>

Hello Eric,
  I believe I remember your story in club soda. If I remember correctly a guy came in with a trailer with the machines you bought and I'm thinking a cooler that he wanted to keep for himself, he was also a few feet away from jeff Walters book. Am I right? Terry

[Eric]

Wow.... good memory...you're right.... he kept a Pepsi 55 ideal slider & a
Coke Westinghouse master...he thought they older and
might be worth more.
That was a great magazine! Loved it! I had redesigned the Clib Soda logo for it and he said he was going to use it... But it never made it. What a shame it ended like it did.
Remember all the for sale ads..... Machines have doubled ... even tripled in some cases.
I would love to see this on this site.... Maybe Jim can figure somesthing out to where we have a space for finds of the month and members post images of what they have found and the deal they got. What do you think? '>

Of course I would have spelt it CLUB SODA... not Clib Soda....
sorry about that..... '>
