just this clock lol couldn't find one like it and wanted to see if it was worth anything or if i should just hang it up. but for that price i'll probably just hang it up! just needs new electronics to get the clock working again. Thanks!

Also what time period is this from?

I agree with surf. Clock looks 1970's and if it ran and lite up I would say 50.00 on a good day around me. If its one of the larger clocks probably more. That's cool it has the 10 2 4 highlighted, Dr peper hasn't used that in for ever, the 10 2 4 slogan. That alone says it has some age.

I agree on the price and also that it's probably 70s or newer since it's plastic. I collect gas & oil stuff and some soda advertising if I can get it cheap. Entry level collectors like this stuff because it's affordable but as a rule if it's plastic it's not old. This applies to signs as well. Here is my 10 cent Dr Pepper machine from the 50s. Patiently waiting to come into my shop and get restored unless I get bored with it and swap it for something else. I have also seen old machines that were beyond mechanical repair turned into gun cabinets. What burglar is going to break into an antique soda machine inside your house looking for valuables...

Nice! I cant remember if I posted this or not. I found it in a barn in Lexington Kty. If you know your soda machines you know what this is. 259.JPG 258.JPG

I know enough to get me in trouble. Sell me the coin mech and the vending handle.. They are missing from my Dr Pepper machine and I have been told they are the same as those Pepsi & Coke machines with the "small door".. lol At a local auction I watched the Coke version of your machine, in worse condition, sell for $1250.
