I know that some folks delve into "Fantasy" type soda machines.  I am a big Fallout video game fan and love the idea of having a Fallout styled Nuka Cola machine in my Basement Arcade.  I only saw one thread relating to this from alomost 3 years ago...

Has anyone seen or is aware of some completed examples?  This seems like a fun Spring project for me!

Thanks!!

your best bet would be to get a Square top vendor like a Vendo 56 or Cav 64 or Vendo 63 and then restore it into whatever theme you want.
these machines typically have a light up sign that you could have a sign shop make your graphics, and you could paint up the cabinet in any color scheme you want.
many collectors have made "theme" machines, some sports, other brands, beer, etc... so one of the machines listed above would serve your purpose well and can be found fairly easily for around 300-500.

It is a fun game set in a post apocolyptic retro future!

Thanks but I think I really want that more retro rounded look...

Wonder if there is a way you could make a facade to put over a square top to look like it

Me neither but it looks like the concept has been around for a while.

At least since Fallout 3 (video game) came out...

A Vendo 39 or a Vendo 80 would probably be the two round tops that would be most affordable for a project like this.

Interesting idea!
