Question
I have a coca cola machine. It is made by Westinghouse and the model No. is WD 22. It is in need of restoring but I have all the parts. It is one of Westinghouse large coolers. Can you give me a rough idea what it is worth now and how much after restoration>

Answer
Hi Pete,

WOW, this WD-22 will hold 500 bottles, what a hungry cooler, this would be great at the ball game! Galvanized tank, 36 1/4 inches high, 72 1/8 inches wide, 28 3/8 inches deep. Made in the early 1950's to late 50's. Average condition value is $475.00. Fully Restored it's value is $1,950.00. Pete, if the condition of yours is less then average, then your somewhere below the $475.00 value.

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
