Most bottle soda machines offer more than one selection and can be adjusted to vend different size glass bottles. Usually sizes from the small 8 oz Coke bottle up to a 12 oz long neck. Although the most popular bottle is the familiar, small 8 oz Coke bottle, there is also Sprite, Diet Coke and the NEW Coke Life that are offered in the same, small 8 oz bottle as well. These bottles will work in all our machines. Beer bottle sizes from the small 7 oz pony’s up to a 12 oz long neck usually work as well. We can convert some bottle soda machines to vend 12 oz cans or the new Mexican 12 oz Coke bottles

Coke Machine Values
What is my Vintage Coke Machine worth?
We do not estimate the value of a Vintage Coke machine. But, we can tell you where to look to figure it out on your own. It just requires some homework on your part. First let’s go over some real world issues to make sure your expectations are realistic. The collector market is down, and has been down since the recession (over 10 years ago). During the recession people lost their jobs, they lost their homes, they just did not need an old Coke machine. They had much larger concerns. So they sold their Coke machines, flooding the market. And with not as many buyers, the values really went down, and have not come back up. So for right now, it is a buyers market. This may help you in deciding if you really want to sell right now, or just hang onto your vintage Coke machine and enjoy it more
Next, you must start with exactly what you have, manufacture name and model number of your Coke machine. You want to compare Apples to Apples here. One model Coke machine could easily be worth more than a different model, just like cars. Then, is your Coke machine complete or is it missing anything? This will effect the value for sure. Next, does it work? Has it ever had any major work done to it, (new cooling system, etc.)? This too will effect value.
Now, what to do with all this info? Here is what you do. Go online to eBay and look under “Completed Listings” to see what your model Coke machine has actually sold for. Do not go to where items are currently for sale on ebay. The large price differences there will only confuse you further, or make you think your Coke machine is worth much more than it actually is. “Completed Listings” will show you all the auctions that ended, and what actually sold. “Sold” items will have their prices listed in Green print, and that is actually what they truly sold for. Items that did not sell, will have their prices listed in Black or Red print, meaning they were priced too high. Then you can also click on their descriptions to compare them to yours in more detail (were they complete like yours, did they work like yours, etc.) Also, find out where they were located. You need to make sure the item was at least in the same country as yours. Then you will have a pretty good realistic idea of what your vintage Coke machine is really worth today, and if you really want to sell it for that
