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 as bottles.

Here are some samples of the work Grand America Jukebox has accomplished.

VMC 81 Pepsi machine restoration

Before                                                      After

1950's vintage Vendorlator Pepsi 81 soda machine, before and after. In many cases the owners ask us for a "Two Tone" paint scheme. Changing a few things makes the soda machine stand out far more than the factory paint scheme.

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 WD-12 soda machine that we restored. Chest soda machines are very versatile, having no actual vend mechanism inside. Just a large open area. You can put beverages in them as well as food. They stay cold longer than an upright soda machine. This soda machine we added a "Two Tone" paint scheme and a NEW compressor assembly.

Grand America Jukebox can also convert chest soda machines into "Coca-Cola Soda Bars"
