Replacement Cooling Systems For Vintage Drink Machines

Where do I get a replacement Compressor Refrigeration Cooling Systems for my Vintage Drink Machine?

I get asked often: Where do I get a replacement Compressor Refrigeration Cooling Systems for my Vintage Coke, Pepsi Soda Drink Machine?

We get them from Vintagecola.com.   They have been making replacement cooling systems for 30 years. We use them in all our restorations and are always pleased.  They are designed to be installed in most Vintage Vendo, VMC, Cavalier, and Westinghouse Machines and cooler chests.

  • These are complete, new refrigeration cooling systems, designed to fit in a variety of vintage drink machines.   
  • Includes new (not refurbished) parts including coils, shrouds, fans, compressor, wiring, high-end thermostat, tubing, capillary tubing, etc. It comes on a metal base plate that can be bolted to your machine.
  • Systems are prewired. Use a standard 110-volt plugin and are ready to run. They provide a “hot wire” for your accessories such as lights or electric coin mechs if your model requires it.
  • Systems come charged with 134A Refrigerant and are ready to be installed.
  • These systems are not an exact reproduction of the original. They are designed to fit or “drop-in” as a replacement cooling system for your vintage coke machine.  
  • Your new refrigeration system takes about 7-12 days to build test and ship out.

Can I install it myself?

If you install it, some mechanical ability is required. For example, you will need to drill new holes in the base of your machine to secure it, obtain the bolts, and use self-tapping screws to secure the evaporator to the tub, attach the thermostat in the tub, run wires up into the tub, etc. If you are not comfortable, we can install it for you. Or if you are not local to us you can hire a local handyman or refrigeration tech person to install it. Vintagecola is not responsible for customers’ or a 3rd party installers’ damage to a system during installation.
