Grand America Jukebox is a restoration and repair service company
Grand America Jukebox can perform a Coke / Coca-Cola or Pepsi Machine restoration for you!
Whether you are looking for that vintage decor or just wanting a functioning conversation piece, having a Vintage Soda Pop Machine in your home will satisfy everyone. It's a thrill to drop a coin in and have your favorite beverage vend out. Soda machines can be filled with many different types of beverages: soda, juice, water, beer and others. Most bottle soda machines will vend more than one selection and can be adjusted to vend different diameter and lengths of glass bottles. We can convert some bottle soda machines to vend cans as well
Each soda machine is individually restored by hand

Westinghouse Coke Machine Restoration
Grand America Jukebox also restores and repairs Coke / Coca Cola chest soda machines as well. Pictured is a Coca-Cola Westinghouse WH-12 soda machine we restored. Chest soda machines are very versatile, having no actual vend mechanism, just a large open area. They can hold beverages as well as food. They also remain cold longer than an upright soda machine. For the WH-12 Coca Cola Machine pictured, we performed a full restoration and added a NEW cooling assembly

We bent and fit the new cover, then welded it together
