Ok so somewhat off topic.

I have found an old Coke Machine is a Dixie Narco from '76.

It's not one of the cool ones you see on TV, but one you would see in a polaroid from the 80's.

The Company Dixie Narco doesn't service or sell parts for it anymore and every website that does have parts only talks about the classic ones from the 50's and 60's.

I have only recently found it, it's been in a barn for decades, don't know if it works, could plug in and be fine, but I am sure would need some tuning up.

Does anyone know anyone locally who does this?

I am planning on doing the restoration myself, but would happily pay someone a premium to get access to parts.

Thanks for any help
Dave

Wow! This is exactly what I was hoping for...

Hopefully they have parts and info on older NON classic models.

If you are planning on restoring any logo's on the machine you might want to check on the licensing for that activity.

Oh the logo is in great shape.

In fact a spit and polish she would be great, I am just worried about the internals.

I hate resizing photos.

Here is a link of it on my Facebook.

It is dirty and dusty but in great overall cosmetic condition.

I couldn't get any closer, there was a downed wall right in front of it.
