Thanks Terry,  but I was just a beginner back then. I did learn a lot from the articles.  I too have all old copies.
      The issue pictured has a good editorial on the Orange Crush 81 which happens to be this topic.
      Since the magazine is now defunct I'm sure it would legal to reprint some stories here on this site. I don't have a scanner.

Funny this should get mentioned...
I was talking with a couple of people regarding the start of a new publication offered quarterly that would take off where Club Soda left off...
I'm in a planning stage at the moment to see where this could go and where an abundance of new/old information can be acquired for publication...
I'll keep you posted...

Group,
Being the guy who started this discussion (topic), I would love to have a copy of the article in topic (orange crush 81). If anyone would be willing to mail or fax me a copy, it would be much appreciated. I have been a vintage soda machine colloctor for years, but am new to this site/club. I have already learned a lot form you all. Thanks.

Hmmm. if you start it up let me know I had revamped the Club Soda Cap/Logo before it went under
It was a great name if you use it let me know and I'll see if I had kept it.
Yeah there are some great articles and I remember a page on Selmix Dispensers that would be good for
the dispenser area....I'll try and dig it up also.
As far as the OC 81 it was just a picture of the machine..... And what people thought of it (99% thought it fake)
I met the guy who had this machine and he showed me some before pictures.... but of course it was in primer....
and no pictures of it in “original” condition.

Was a great mag.... but like this site better.... But they did do some cool stuff... like finds of the month, member
spotlite... great hunting and finding stories...... Like a guy at an auction bought a pile of old tires
for like a few bucks... everyone thought he was crazy until he pointed out the old coke machine burried under it.
Another guy helped another guy clean off his property of some “old junk”.... which consisted of a few old gas pumps
and a 7up machine.....Free.....


Good Stuff then......

I posted a photo last year so this made my search a little easier, but searching does help find things...

The thread has a photo:
Orange Crush lovers...

Hopefully helpful...
