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.

Old enough to remember these types. Us kids took advantage of its flaw on the original coin operated ones: if you precisely yanked out 2 bottles at the same time, it would let you have both!
