I know you don't like coke but here is a pic of a sign that I did. This machine was origionally the pepsi machine below and it had a metal non light up sign in it. I made the sign frame and made the sign. It is easy.

Josh,
Oh, it's not that I don't like Coke--as a matter of fact, love the drink and love the machines. It's just got a bit TOO much of the collectible market, so I see too many of 'em. Looking at what you did with that Pepsi machine is what I'm here for! Gives me a lot of hope that I can do one myself. For the chrome--you replaced the lock, I'm sure--but did you replace the glass door handle or replate it? Sorry if I'm getting off on tangents, but you guys are awesome--I keep coming up with new questions after reading your posts.
And Glen--I think you're right, his price is about right, and that's the way we'd like to head. I think now it depends on how bad shipping will hurt.
Wm

The door handle is reproduced and is cheep. I like John's 7up machine. i agree you should go for that. If you want something that is different that is it. I have had more than 70 machines and I have never seen one like it. Neet machine. John gets good deals through Fedex Freight or you can send it door to door with North American van lines for about $350

Door to door service is usually $300.00 +
Shipping terminal to terminal as does Forward Air. Closer to $100. +
If your seller is co-operative.........shipping costs can be minimized

OK, terminal to terminal with the shipping discount Fedex freight is 530, ForwardAir is 506, haven't looked for NAVL's rates. We're shipping the machine about 1200 miles or so, Michigan to Austin, but still..... I haven't shipped a pinball in a few years, but I remember them being around 200. It's too bad if it's gotten that high, cause I really do like the machine. But it's just too much to do.....unless I'm missing something.

Anyway....Call Johnie in person......he will get the real scoop on cost! |

I haven't shipped anything in a little while,
but I am sure gas prices have impacted the cost some.

Well, I haven't quite given up--It's the machine I'd want given my druthers, but my inquiries have been reasonably consistent--so I'm losing hope. Plus, going on ebay and checking out "exact shipping" on shipping quote calculators gets about the same kind of amounts to ship machines similar distances. Can't decide if I should start letting my eyes wander yet.  '> Besides, Josh has about talked me into the thought of buying a cheaper coke and painting it. Then the world really is my oyster, as far as the brand I get for my gameroom.

And if I did go with a local machine, it would probably be that Coke CS-64E followed by a repaint and new sign. But for a relatively turnkey, if HUGE machine, this sure is a nice Dr Pepper. Or at least the kinda era I'll be aping on any repaint, early 60's-ish or so.

Course, you never know how realistic a guy's reserve is.....

Forward air only does Terminal to Terminal and I've never paid more than 150 bucks for something shipped and that was from Washington State to Minnesota. I'd recheck that and yes I'm sure gas prices have affected it a bit but not that much. |
