Thanks guys. It was a fun day. I had planned to cruz down on my own but the wife and kid felt sorry for me and decided to come. It was a fun road trip. About. 120 miles each way. My initial plan was to leave at 6 am and be back in san jose by 12:30. But with the family, the pee pee stops, coffee shop, and meals I took a few more hours and a lot more money then planned. All in all cool because it forced me out of my type A mind set and forced me to smell the roses.
I just love this machine! The inside is very clean, complete and its a 7up(the gastro intestinle fix all beverage of the latin community). I have been looking for one of these for the last 5 years, this is a keeper for me. Tom I agree, the all metal door needs to go so I will be converting it to a glass door.
The lady I purchased this from was as sweet as honey! She held it for me for a week! It was on craigslist for a fair price and all week I thought she was probably just going to sell it. Thanks Glenda!!!!!

You're not going to part it out Victor?  Remember the guy from the UK who said they couldn't find roundtops over there so he made one? |

That 7up machine looks sweet! Man it looks like the Titanic of Round Tops!
I hear you (Parting Out).
I know for sometime it was the trend to part these transitional machines out. I have done a few.
If it was the type of transitional machine with the flat coin door (mostly see Pepsi 56 in this style) I probably would.
In my little eyes this devil is equal to the round top 56 and worth minimum 1,500.00. Now I know most will not pay this amount for one (And I did not) but this little one will not leave my hands for anything less. I know some of you may be wondering what I am smoking but I know a fella that will pay me my asking price.
There cannot be to many of these around, since I see a lot more RT 56 for sale in my area than these 7up 56 (5 years to locate this one).
This little Devil Deserves to LIVE!!!

The longer I am in this hobby, the more I admire these original condition machines. Be sure to post a picture this weekend when it's sparkling clean again!  |

I found a square top 7up a few months ago and took the coin mech off and discovered about $75 worth of silver dimes stuck behind it. Might want to check it out.   |
