Soda machine usage

[coke_and_stuff]

12 machines in my shop and only one running, that A model looks great under that porch!

Vendo RT-56 converted to can stack in the kitchen 12+ years. (Soda's)
USS-64 serves the needs in the shop 5+ yrs. (beer etc...)
Various others. Not much point in having something the size of a soda machine, that does not perform the task it was built for. Of course just my thoughts. The other various types of machines get spun up couple times a month.

Restored Vendo 44 with can kit in kitchen. Always running.

Original  Pepsi 81 in garage with BEER  always running and always re-filling    

The rest of my machines are all unplugged but once in awhile I plug them in and use them if we have a party or people over.

I have a reproduction JR. cooler at the cottage too, it works great and we keep it in the sunroom.

Mine are also all show no go.

All show no go too....
Summer time I plug in my Pepsi 110 when we have a BBQ, but that's about it.

I don't like non machine lovers (ok, my friends kids lol) touching my machines lol

I know what you mean ed. I have a newly restored 81d and I can't bring myself to use it.

[Kilroy]

I can take care of that for you Jared

We use my restored Ideal 55 on a daily basis.   After I get my newly acquired 44 cleaned up and presentable, will probably load that up and use it as well.
There's a WE-6 out on the back deck that gets filled with ice and used for parties - until I finally get around to having it restored.

Surprised the amount of machines not in service. What is the point of owning them?

I keep the Westinghouse WB126-B6-D full of beer in the garage.
