Hi guys, my name is Manuel and i am from Argentina
I have succesfully restores 2 CAvaliers 72 and 1 Vendo 39.
Now its time to restore a Jacobs 26.
I was wondering how it would look like to be painted as a Pepsi soda machine.
I tryed to look trought the intenet some pics of pepsi Jacobs 26 but ihave no succes.
I know that the was no jacobs 26 as pepsi.

Here are a couple of pics of my jacobs 26.

I'm pretty sure Ricks Restorations did this one.... (and no, this is not a joke, I really think this was his resto)

It's a Jacobs 35,.... but still lets you see what it would look like as a Pepsi.

YOUR COKE JACOBS LOOKS GOOD!!! If that is original, I say leave it alone!

This is a hobbie for me, so i like to restore them to the perfection je
The paint is old and no one polished it when it was painted, so it looks bad

You can't restore that Jacobs.. guys here will chime in with ways to get that gleaming again with a bit of polish.
stuff you can get on the internet if you can't get it in Argentina.

please wait for advice before ripping it down.. Too nice to restore.

Your cav 72 and v39 looks fantastic.

And the jacobs looks good as it is. I would save it and try to find another machine in need of paint for making a pepsi. Maybe a v39 all blue with welded in a pepsi lettering or a decal.
I think many of us like to have another brand than only coke in our collections.

Are old soda-machines hard to find in argentina ?

Yes, they are very hard to find.

The other two CV-72 and one vendo-39 where bought in the US and send by ship to Argentina.
