| Where Found? |
I FOUND THIS MACHINE IN A HIGHWAY GARAGE,
I WAS ASKING THEM FOR THE LONGEST TIME ABOUT BUYING IT,
ONE DAY I WAS FINALY ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM INTO GETTING
RID OF IT, AND I HAD TO DONATE TO THEIR BREAKFEST FUND,
NO JOKE. THIS MACHINE WAS AN OLD COSTA COLA MACHINE, IT
WAS 1ST A BOTTLE MACHINE AND THE CONVERTED OVER TO A CAN
MACHINE FROM THE COSTA FAMILY IN NEWBURGH NEWYORK, IT
WAS LIME GREEN UNTIL PEPSI TOOK OVER THE MACHINE AND PAINTED
IT WHITE AND PUT THEIR LOGOS ONTO IT, I HAVE SINCE STRIPPED
THE PAINT AND REPAINTED IT. |
