Soda Machines in old movies or TV shows? (maybe already been asked about?)

[Bruce]

Last night I was wondering if anybody here had ever started a thread highlighting sightings of vintage machines in TV shows or movies? (Not recent "reality" **ahem** shows dealing with finding /restoring/selling old machines.) Things like "in the Leave it to Beaver episode xxxxxxxxxxxxx, there was a Vendo 44 at the gas station", or "in the movie (insert movie title here) at about the 45 minute mark there is a slider shown in the barber shop", etc.

A few years ago on a Schwinn forum I was on they had a thread going where Schwinn sightings were documented, that's probably what got me wondering if there was something similar here.

I did a search last night using terms like "TV", "movie", "Mayberry", etc, but didn't hit on anything.

If it's been done, could you point it out? I'd be interested to see it.

If not, does anybody have any incidents that they can think of?

Thank you!

Those are what I was looking for, and also what I thought was probably previously covered.

I came across an example last night, watching old "Mod Squad" episodes on youtube.

In this episode, there is a scene at a gas station (manned by Edgar Buchanan) where Pete gets a botttle out of a machine in a small town. It can be seen at around the 31:40 mark on this video and can be seen off and on for about the next minute or so. Then once more at the 38:25 mark, again, off and on for about a minute or so.

It's painted pretty generically, and weathered appropriately. Can we get an official identification on it?

Looks like a 6 case vertical...

The Prize Winner of Deviance Ohio- Starring Julianne Moore & Woody Harrelson.  A Vendo 81 generic Dr. Pepper shows up at a gas station when she and her daughter are driving to Indiana and their car overheats. They pull into the station station for the mechanic to take a look. Ms. Moore gets a "pop" out of the 81 without cranking the handle (movie mistake)!
