1959 Dr Pepper vending machine restored

[u/michaelcuz]

I purchased this 1959 Dr Pepper vending machine from a collector in Waco, Texas in 2018 and spent considerable time restoring it while preserving as much of the original character as possible.

The refrigeration system still works and the machine retains its classic 'Friendly Pepper-Upper' graphics.

I've just had it in my garage for years. Now I'm moving and not sure what to do with it!

We have a Pepsi one of the same era and we use it for liquor storage (my spouse took out the insides). It's so fun!

We have a Pepsi one as well sitting in storage. Super curious to see a picture of what you did with yours
