Question
Hi.  A friend of ours was just given a soda vending machine. Vendo  model# H63A and serial# 00520588.
I have been researching for him and have found some of these same model(s) etc. I do not have a pic, but he says there are dr pepper logos on it (although I know it is not the queen anne, by his description).
The main question I have is was it originally a dr pepper machine or coke? and also, as he is beginning to remove paint etc., he is finding green and white, with a pic of a boy and some bubbles (painted logo) beneath what he says appears to be a(nother) dr pepper decal.  
I would appreciate any info you can give me to pass along to him..

Most Sincerely,  Tina

Answer
Hi Tina,

I am not much help on vending machines, coin operated games, yes, but not vending machines. I think the boy and bubbles might be 7-UP, another mastery. Sorry Tina, I am just not much help here. I think I can tell you something, I believe that the pop companies didn't make there machines, just ordered them from Vendo and had them paint them anyway they wanted.
Thanks fr writing.....
