I picked up a machine off Ebay that was made by Champion Manufacturing.  I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these.  It's a slider type with the coin mech. in the vending area.  It's Pepsi blue with large bottle cap decals.  I'll post a picture when I get it cleaned up.

Hey, that's an idea for all these gutted sliders and cold boxes--Coke machine derby.

A friend thought that Champion made refrigeration coolers/freezers--commercial type.

Lulu - how about a pic now?  Never heard of a champion.  Seeing might help spark <<yes an intentional pun>> some memories.

It would be interesting to see what your machine looks like.

I'll try to get pics posted in the next couple of days.  I'm in the middle of rehabing a rental that I'm going to put up for sale.

I haven't had a chance to do anything with this yet, but thought I'd post a couple of pictures.  The stainless rack and insides are in really nice shape.

Cool... like the integrated coin mech, return and bottle opener.  Does it run?  Looks like you'e going to have a bit of chrome work to do....
