I bought a soda machine

[skippy]

I have never seen this, I just did a google for this, and am not coming up with anything (I may be looking for the wrong thing).  Do you know where to get more info about this?  I like my bottles, but they are getting harder to come by, and I wouldn't mind the option of cans in the future...

Vendo (as well as other pop machine manufacturers) makes can conversion kits for their bottle machines. They even make bottle kits for their can machines.

The conversin kits for this type of machine haven't been made since the late seventies/early eighties.  Only place to find one is going to be in the secondary market and they are not cheap.  You can try the classifieds on soda-machines.com or ebay.  I might have one available, PM me your machine particulars.

I love the look of vintage stuff like that; it's really too bad that it's going to use about 5 times the energy (or more) that a modern refridgerator would use.  I can't imagine you could convert it to modern efficiencies but it would be cool (har har, cool. Get it?) if you could. That's one of the main things preventing me from picking something up like that. Sometimes it sucks to do the "right" thing, you miss out on the coolest toys.
