Welcome to the site! And I'll be the first to say    I just thought I would give you some friendly advice. You'll get a bigger response if you post some pics. We love pictures.   It will surely help someone determine a value. There is a great group of people here and I'm sure someone knowledgeable in those machines will help you.

I am somewhat challenged on that part.  I had to get someone to help me add the Pics.  Thanks!!

That's much better. I'm no expert on these models but I would say on the Pepsi $300.00 range. The Dr. pepper looks to be in better shape and would be more desirable. I'm thinking 400.00 range on Dr Pepper, that is as long as its an original Dr. Pepper and not painted and tagged with a sign. The way to see if its original is to look and see if its listed as D-510-E or DR-510-E then you will know if it was originally a Dr Pepper. You may want to check that. Also looks like its missing a cap catcher and opener on right.

I have the cap cathcer and opener.  It is on the machine now.  The "tag" on the back says 510-e, no prefix.  I know most of them had a letter prefix that started with the type of drink that was on it.  This one does not appear to have been painted or restored.  It appears original. The DP sign IS screwed on.  It is definitrley a PELCO on tag.  Thanks!

Maybe at the factory it was produced to be a generic and they made it a Dr Pepper. I'm not sure but it's a nice looking machine either way.

The book value in 1999 was $400 on the Dr Pepper. Today I think the sign would bring a pretty good clip.
