Question
where might i get a power cord for an  a-55 pepsi machine

Answer
Hi John,

You should be able to get a heavy duty power cord at any hardware store or just cut one off an old computer monitor or something else. If your Pepsi machines has only a two wire cord, I would go to the three prong cord so you have a ground, "Ground is a good thing" and attach the ground wire to the case somewhere if your replacing a two wire cord with a three wire cord. If you are not sure of what your doing, I would have someone who understands the positive and the neutral and the ground hook it up for you.

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!
