Title: Coca cola cooler
Post by: Hibber on October 28, 2010, 06:38:36 AM

I was remodeling a house and came across this coca cola machine. The owner knew nothing about it but said that i could have it. I have not been able to find much on this machine on the web. I have found pictures of similar machines but the bottom tray is always on the right bottom corner. Was wondering if anyone knew the year or model or value of this machine. It needs some TLC but I have plugged it in and it seems to run fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Coca cola machines have plates/information on them detailing models and dates.  Have you found that on yours?
