Thank you for rescuing this artifact from decades gone by, sir. I wish more people would salvage these beautiful works of Americana and refurbish them to their brilliant glory of yesteryear. Again, THANK YOU!!!!
I have this same machine sitting in my garage. My family is the original owners. My grandfather bought it brand new when he opened his shop in 1956
Love you for the work you do on these precious and quintessentially American pieces (and big pieces) of an ambassador of America in her "Juggernaut Nothing's Gonna Keep Us Down" years.
I wish they bring back old Commercials with the jingle...
I see sooooo many of these old machines with the wood grain STILL sitting at old garages that have changed hands or went out. Ones as old as from the 70s. Are they REALLY that expensive for the manufacturer/distributor to come pick up???
Just wondered if you have ever tested the insulation for asbestos on these older machines. I’ve got a 1961 Caverlier but have had to stop my refurb until I know more.
What a beautiful little coke machine , I wish I could buy one ! 👍😀
That is a beautiful machine. I just picked up a vendo 144 that's in really good shape. It's quite large, but I couldn't argue with the price!

Are there any bottlers out there that refill the old 6.5 oz. bottles?
How do I find out the value of a vintage Coca Cola machine 1950’s model 42T
Thank you for reaching out to us. A great resource for information on Coca-Cola memorabilia is the Coca-Cola Collector’s Club- an independent group of collectors devoted to all things Coca-Cola. You can visit them at: CokeURL.com/hwva Hope this helps!
You ought to be proud of it beautiful job
So the brand-new one of these which my parents still have in their basement might just be worth a few dollars.
I would buy it from you for over 200 dollars
What is the paint code you use I got a 1957 I'm going to fix up an would like to paint it back the same color
Where can I buy one?? Make a modern retro version please!
Do you do work for individuals or just for your company?
Im restoring a 1960 cavalier cs-64c coca-cola machine! Its a work in progress but its slowly making its way!
Awsome restoration i want that in my room
Good job
I have a 1966 caviler coca cola machine that works and was wondering what kind of freon i needed to put in it
Extraordinary Wonderfull
Wish you could have highlighted that sign painter more...he sure has a deft touch
Juggernog???
hell yeah
Yup
Why did you cut the linkage of the coin mechanism shaft? Should slide right off?
We tried everything to get it off Jared, it would not come off, so we had to cut it off unfortunately, thank God for Janet at FT
are you in the market for another vendo 44? we have one that is in working order and always stored indoors.
@@tannersmith8948 we no longer have the coke machine
Where are you located ? I need a restoration for my Coke Machine.. thanks Luis
I'm in Corpus Christi Texas
Metro Atlanta, Georgia
Looks like Juggernog
because treyarch made the perks from original vending machines
He did a very nice job restoring this machine, and I agree that the machine is a work of art, but it hurt a little when that sandblaster went to work on that patina.
I have what I believe to be a 1930s era wet cooler, copper tub and running compressor. I am wanting to restore the mechanics and maintain the patina; I have someone to work on the refrigeration; my plan is to keep the outside as it currently is. Eastwood Company has a patina preserver I would like use for the outside and a rust inhibitor for the inside of the box, would this work on my machine?
Patina? You mean rust and corrosion? To each their own, but I never got why people want to preserve evidence of degradation. Makes no sense to me. If the people that made the machine 60 years ago saw it in that state, they'd be horrified.
if the zombie apocalypse happens i'm going to his place
Ever come across a vendo 88
How much would a original 1930s coca cola cooler be worth?
I do not quote prices on items I can not see or discuss, sorry
i think it looks butterfly
The original compressor if operational would probably outlast the modern junk that was put in it
Todo bien pero ponga lo enespañol

It's on page 10
Won't it be used? Why put it on display?
When the tournament was over, the winning golfer took it home..
We need it on display so our mutant cousins can get nuka cola from them.
Looks like fallout nuka cola
Ugh, leave the original paint on.......
Bostonclassics1 I would agree wholeheartedly except I don't know that the rust could be removed without removing the paint. The rust is the killer. If it had no rust, I'd say, "Hey, faded original is better than an approximation by the lab guys...and they obviously do a great job. Original is always preferable, if not always possible.
It's amazing the amount of precious minutes that man spends chasing the past. Kind of futile when you think about it. You don't get that time back that you commit to it and you can't bring back that past - even if in your mind you THINK you're doing just that by restoring something old from that time period. The past is just that - and it's important not to live in it because then we waste the moment that we're currently in. And I don't say this as a young person with no perspective. I say this as a 56 year old person who's lost his share of people and things on this earth. You don't get them back. You're not meant to get them back. You're truly meant to move on, no matter how hard that is to do. And you know it's the correct thing to do because the right thing is so often the hardest thing to do but it bares the most fruit in the long haul.
Just something to think about for all those "collectors" out there who waste their "current" on chasing a past trying to bring back the '50s or some bygone time from their memory. Quite honestly, what's the point? You usually find that all that item does once obtained is make you miss that past all the more. So why put yourself through it? Move forward, because you can't move backward. Just something to consider when you find yourself risking life and limb to hunt down that beanie baby from 1993.
I respectfully disagree with your position regarding the restoration of machinery from a bygone era, and I am probably not the only one. I am definitively forward thinking, but I will usually turn my head when I see a beautiful 1955 Chevy Belair that passes me by on the sidewalk.
@@rolltide2618 for the most part I agree with you, but I do want to say that Belair should really keep it to the street. Sidewalks are for people!
The paint job done by hand was quite poor. It didn't match the thinner original very well.
ignition. When you saw it in person, it was terrific. Spot on!!!
