The story goes...Dr.pepper had around 800 or so of these machines made for the retiring folks with the Dr. Pepper Co. Kind of a retirement gift. The remaining machines found their way out in the field, as part of the vending services offered by Dr. Pepper.
I have been fortunate and have owned 2 of these machines. I sold the 1st one, all original, for $2200. It needed to be restored but had all the castings and perfect light up sign. The second one we have, is also original, complete, and running, being a 9+ on a scale of 10. I have been offered $3000 for this one, turning them down...flat! Wife said so.  '>
Here in Texas, Dr. Pepper is King...blah, blah, blah.....But some folks are just crazy for the stuff. Some of my biggest jobs however, were for Dr.Pepper collectors. I personally think the machines are attractive, unique, and make a great addition to any collection!
Whether what I've heard is correct or not, it's still a neat story.

PS...Tom, way to hustle on the sign! Man...if I need anything, you can just snap your fingers and get it for me...okay?  '>

Everybody does their part here at SMC! If you need something, somebody here can usually help. Being from Texas, I too am a DP nut (I like it a lot better than Coke) - so my searches usually include DP somehow. I saw it and thought of Shelly.

I think so. I missed that whole Lyon's machine discussion, but read it the other day when I was searching for something - he seemed to ruffle a few feathers around here.
