Hello,
I just found your site and love it! I was wondering if possible if I sent you a couple of pics of a soda machine I picked up last week could you give me some info on it?
Thanks, Chris

I have a syrup dispenser that does both coca cola and root beer. it is an oak 55(approx) gallon barrel with 4 metal bands on the upper and lower parts of the barrel. it has lions claw feet. it has the red drink coca cola emblem on front. it has drink coca cola ice cold on the side and a rochester root beer metal sign on the back. another oval metal sign is missing. it is in very good condition. i was curious how old it might be and what it might be worth.

Anyone have a copy of the Service Manual for the Mutliplex Red Barrel Fountain Dispenser that they could scan and make available? Fun-Tronics indicates their printer lost the original and I cannot locate anyone else that has one.

I have a piece of soda fountain equipment with a tag INNOVATION American Soda Fountain Company U.S.A. It is a marble base with 2 pulls with marble knobs and 2 hand valves. The pulls and hand valves appear to be brass. I can’t find anything on line that looks similar. Can anyone tell me where I might find information about it?

Gildardo,

We no longer own this machine. If you are asking about one you have, you might be able to get a value from americansodafountain.com, as we can’t give estimates anymore, since we have been out of the restoration business for awhile.

The Multiplex Red Barrel, the first multi-drink dispenser for Coca-Cola, was made in the 1960s. The dispenser was created to meet the needs of a new type of outlet, such as drive-ins, that had more cooling capacity than standard dispensers, but was less expensive than self-contained units. The red oak barrel came in two sizes — 17 gallon and 45 gallon. – from http://www.coca-colaconversations.com/.m/my_weblog/2008/09/lessons-learned/comments/
