Question
I HAVE A 1969 ORIGINAL PEPSI MACHINE VENDO IN GREAT SHAPE.. STILL COOLS TO ITS TEMP.. HOW DO I GO ABOUT FINDING A PRICE SO I CAN SELL IT?  

Answer
Hi Annmari,

    Yours is a hard question as to value, The best way I know on a newer machine like this is to do a search for a machine like it on ebay auction. There is a new book that just came out on vending machines but I haven't bought a copy yet so I don't know if it will cover the later 1969 vendo's, you can see this book at;
http://www.gameroommagazine.com/index.php?main_page=pubs_product_book_info&cPath...

I will most likely be buying one soon as it looks like a good source of information. For now try ebay or write me back later and see if I have a copy of the book by then.
Thank You
Sincerely

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!
