I’ve successfully converted my machine to vend cans now replacing the bottle rockers. I suppose I will hold onto them for memorabilia sake and if I ever figure out how to cheaply refill and recap the older 8 oz bottles. I received a nice note from the guy who owned my machine on this history of it:<\/p>\n

1968 it was in the lunch room at 12 Ainslie St S and dispensed the bottles for 10 cents- one thin<\/em><\/div>\n
dime. As prices increased it became unprofitable so it replaced with another machine that<\/em><\/div>\n

to our present home and it it worked well at that time<\/em><\/div>\n
