hi,ive just got my first  coke machine and its a VMC149,it looks to be complete and was wondering if anyone on here owns one aswell,im looking to restore and need to find a manual and the correct decals for it,i found it on ebay here in the uk as ive been looking for about 7 years,it was damn heavy though but it just got through the front door and the shipper who delivered it said it took 4 guys to get on truck,theres a picture on here of it,its the 56 model with red down bottom and white on top,thanks for any help.  andy.

hi Andy, and welcome

can you post your pix? all members here really like to see each others
machines.

i am also based in UK & have seen how the people here help each other

with whatever issues they have with their machines. ive not really had

much call on that assistance as my two machines have been in storage,

pretty much since i got them and i have no experience to pass onto you


however, im sure you will get all the assistance you will need from the soda
team across the pond

There were two types of VMC 149 - a manual crank and an automatic version. I have a manual for each of them, but I do not have either scanned yet.
I am sure a manual can be obtained from Fun-Tronics [(301) 371-5246]
or www.sodajerkworks.com or www.sodamuseum.com as I believe all of them have it for sale.

I've got the same machine here in the shop...

If you need pictures of all the original decals and locations,
I can snap a few pics if you would like.

hi any pictures of decals would be great,the 149 i have is a manual one and it has been repainted at some point and who ever done it painted over the original decals so you can actually still see them.if i can figure out how to post pics i will of course post them for all to see,many thanks for your help.
