New Refrigeration Systems:

​

​If your machine won't cool anymore, I can replace it with a brand new energy-efficient one. You will get a completely new system, including a new Compressor, Condenser and Evaporator, and all new copper tubing and drier. Tell me what machine you have, and I will install your new system and dispose of your old one. Your cost is $1300. I just installed a new unit in a Cavalier 72 for a movie producer here in L.A.

​

Why worry about your old system not cooling anymore? Let me install a new one for your Vendo, VMC, Cavalier and just about any vintage machine you might have. It takes approximately 2 weeks to complete the job.

 

Restorations:

​

I would like to restore your vintage soda machine, I'm located in Southern California, 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. A complete restoration is between $4900-$5900.

I'll completely take apart the entire machine and restore it and have it look brand new. I have been a restorer/collector for 35 years, since January of 1990. I am a professional restorer.

Send me a few pictures of your machine to: brad@nostalgia-tymes.com.  Give me as much information as possible, I will then reply with a quote.

 

Here's what you need to do if you accept my offer to Restore your machine:

​

1. Ship it to me, Include this information: name, address, phone number, and email address. I can give you the name of a carrier I've used for over 10 years in case you want it shipped.

​

2. Pay 50% upfront. I've had many occasions where customers let the completed machine sit for 6 months or longer without paying or picking it up. Pay me with a check or cash.

​

3. When it's finished, I will let you know, pay the remaining balance, and it's yours to pick up. There is a storage fee after 10 days if not picked up at $75 per week.

 

Restoring a vintage soda machine is a long slow process that takes 100+ hours. I would like the opportunity to restore your machine. I have been a collector/restorer since 1990.

The turnaround time on your machine is generally 10-12 months but could take longer depending on Parts that are missing.
