Have a look at this collection.

Chaps

Just bought a cion op pillow radio from a seller on ebay. He uses the ID cocacolanut and has sent me some pictures of his SMALL collection that I thought I'd share with you.

Both him and his wife have been collecting for over 30 yrs.

That's a neat collection !

He tells me he has managed to acquire over the years 30 Barbers Poles, 30 Jukes and 22 Soda Machines. A couple of those machines in the pictures I have never seen anywhere else.

Just imagine what you could have if you had a wife like his....
A real nice bloke I'm definately going to keep an eye on his auctions.

Wow, thanks for the pics.  Almost every square inch (or cm for some of you) of their place is filled!  '>

Do they do all of their own restorations?

That's a nice collection. I have a buddy that reproduces  the animated "big band sets" that is hanging on the wall. '>

That is simply awesome.. I'll have to save those pictures to my Awesome collections file...

If anyone else knows of some Awesome collections please send my way, as I'm working on adding a section to my website (www.cokenstuff.com) a link to Awesome soda/coin op collections.

Nice collection Dave - I think I have looked at a couple of the items he has had up for sale.
Most of the machines, I recognize...let's see a VMC 27, Westinghouse 44, Vendo 56, Westinghouse BV-56, Cavalier 72, Cavalier 33, Westinghouse Junior, Scottsman, Vendo 39, Cavalier Office cooler???. I do not recognize that Diet Coke machine with the light fixture on top - that looks like it is about 40 inches tall and has 4-5 selections.
Pretty cool, but personally a little too much for my taste.
