I looked but think this has not been discussed here. How ever you pronounce your favorite carbonated beverage one of the three above machine or fountain show us a picture or even a restore project as I have seen Coke and Pepsi machines come up on TV shows. Heck my brother in-law collects Pepsi memorabilia which is harder than Coke. I know some are less seen RC, Dr. Pepper etc. Thanks and waiting for that first photo. 
It was a hot mess when I got it.
I have never worked on one of these before but with Covid and nowhere to go I had some free time.
New fan shroud for the condenser and new fan motor and blade.
Compressor 3 in 1 starter. New wiring to a terminal block as I just couldn’t justify spending $100 for a wiring harness this simple.
New insulation in the cabinet. New LED light bar in the door.
New door edge molding to keep the cold in.
It didn’t even need a recharge after fixing all the wiring. Keeps everything nice and frosty!
Vendo H110 1956. Cosmetically unrestored, I like the patina.

There was an episode of Pawn Stars where they bought of all things a BLUE Coke machine instead of red. I think it was worth more also. I like the old soda machines as I saw many of them as a kid. Do any of you find it hard to get bottles now compared to back then when they were everywhere?
Some I guess are regional and always wondered as I ran across this from a friend of mine a few years (sorry to say he has passed away since then).

I fill it with any long neck beer and 16.9oz plastic soda bottles vend just fine.
Wife fell in love with this Pepsi VMC 81. Also picked up a Coke Coolerette. The stand is pretty rare I believe. But it goes well with the 4’ x 8’ Coke sign LOL!

Also old Pepsi machines I think are harder to find as many more Coke ones out there. I don't smoke but I have seen several cigarette machines for sell. I always remember the one in my uncles theater down in Marathon Florida when I visited.
Pepsi cooler came from a Huntington Beach liquor store from the 60s. The coke dispenser is a replica from 1973. Fairly rare, these would dispense a syrup that contained cocaine. Which is why the sides of dispenser describe the syrup as refreshing and invigorating on one side and delicious and exhilarating on the other. I wouldn't mind being invigorated this morning. The lines on the coke glasses show about an ounce of the syrup to be dispensed.

Liked the machine and I remember Dad's Root Beer! 
Can't forget CaptainNeo Nuka Cola machine vending machine:

Looked for a long time for a Mtn. Dew machine. After finding out they didn't actually make them back in the 60's, 70's etc...(they would send you decals and paint color to make your own), I found one in New York. Paid like $800 for it but I didn't care because it was what I wanted. I could buy Pepsi and Coke machines all day long for a couple of hundred but why be like everyone else? Plus I love the Dewwwwww.

mtn. dew in truck #3 (resized).jpgmtn. dew machine (resized).jpgAww man, this thread brings back memories.... Gone but not forgotten, my old Dixie Narco. It finally gave up the ghost, but we had a good run. 770lbs of faux woodgrain goodness.

Other more rare ones that I like are RC (Have only seen one or two) Dr Pepper I have always liked not just a selection in the machine and the Pepsi Blue machine on Pawn Stars.

Looks like the one that is in the grocery store near my grandmother's place when I was young. You have to remember that was more than 50 years ago.
Quoted from punkin:People tell me that the best machine here is my coke machine. They love the $2 beers.
Looks to be the same as the dew one above but with coke cards. I have some LED batten fixtures on the way to replace the burnt out fluro tubes.

OK I have to ask what's the Mystery soft drink flavor? 
Know you got me hooked I always loved Fanta as a kid. We had a machine with Fanta grape in it in our lounge at high school where we used to play cards between classes. I remember those good memories of the many card games and having a Fanta grape.
1980's coke "drink box" was made by a German company & were mostly used in coke execs offices. Said to be very efficient and cheap to use. Has no moving parts... not even a fan. I bought it at an estate auction last month for $350. Cleaned it up and it works 100%

Soda related... this is a cool 70's or 80's vintage track suit I got from the estate of a coke exec here in Atlanta in 2015. HI-C is/was owned by coke. The suit was NOS still in the package. I opened it to wear to a local pinball expo in 2016. It's been back in the package since then.
