coke machine

I picked up another one it is a 1972 vendo 63. I took off the vinyl decals and painted it like the early machines.

Nice, there was one in the auto part store back when we had a real auto part store in the 70's. Right into the 1980's you could still get a cold drink out of that machine for .25.

We had one like that in our school gym. Us badassed kids would take a church key to the bottles and drain them into a cup. It really pissed off the Coke man because there were no more sales until his next run. Our principal swore he would catch the villans, but we eluded justice. Since the soda was free, we would even drink the Tabs, which were unfit for human consumption. We did it to piss people off, and it worked!

Does anyone else remember the Coke machines that took a nickel and a penny to dispense the 8 Oz. Cokes?

back in the 60's I would ride my bike to the store up the road and get them for 15cents.i have all ways wanted the bottle machine . but never really looked for one because I did not know the plastic bottles would fit.

I had a ten-cent machine in my race car shop that kept the long neck Budwierser bottles just this side of freezing. There were a couple of slots for coke bottles too.

I'll have to go look again, There is one in the old drugstore in town thats a chest type with a ring system like in the red machine above, nickel finish embossed and red lettered outside. I'll get pics if it's still there.

It would have to be the Mayberry general store to have one of them in actual use, that you Andy?

Bennett's drug store, established 1905. it was in use 10-12 yrs ago, an antique shop now. " Andy, do you see how Barny wraps his lips around that coke bottle ? Gaaleeee !".... GOMER ! Don't pull that out in here !... "Surprise, Surprise" (Floyd faints). Aunt Bee blushes and says "Now Andy, boys will be boys".

My uncle has one of those at his ATV repair shop. Still gets the 8,10,12 oz bottled root beers and cokes. All the same old price. There are a couple of rows with long neck Budweiser’s. During duck season if he morning hunts there may be a duck head hanging from the bottom hole and 3-4 lined up inside. Open 9-5, so the ducks need to stay cold all day to get dressed out in the evening.

I ought to look into getting one of the bottle dispensing machines. Out here in the Southwest, you can still get glass bottled Coke with real cane sugar. The Mexican distributors still use glass and make a good bit of money selling that product here.

I should get one to put outside my shop here, there's nowhere to get a cold soda within 10 miles. I bought one once at an auction back when I still lived in Kansas, bought it cheap for $20 because no one wanted to bid on it as it didn't get cold and had no key. When we went to tip it down into the back of the truck, you could hear change rattling around inside. I drilled the lock out and there were coins scattered all through it, totaled over $40 so I made a profit right there. I intended on gutting it and turning it into a gun cabinet but ran away from the wife before that got accomplished.
