The top of the vending line were the 'Marquee' Hot and Cold Drink vendors. They were styled to complement each other, and were often found in pairs, with one of each type of machine. Featured here is the Hot Drink vendor. This machine individually brewed cups of coffee. Coffee grounds were measured into a stainless-steel cylinder, whose bottom sat upon a stainless-steel chemical etched filter. Very hot water was then fed into the cylinder, followed by a piston from the top to force the water though the grounds and filter. Below the filter was a drain that directed the brewed coffee through tubing to a waiting paper cup. After each brew cycle, the filter was advanced to a fresh section and the old filter and spent grounds were dumped into a slop bucket. The filter was paper, with the roll having enough paper for 9,000 coffee vends. The M6C5RDB model offered fresh cream with the coffee, and included a refrigeration unit to keep the milk fresh. Others came with a powdered creme dispenser.

You could select coffee up to four ways: black, creme, sugar, or creme & sugar. There was a light-up button for extra-strong coffee, and for extra creme and extra sugar. This machine could hold up to 670 squat 7 oz cups, 682 7 oz tall cups, or 550 9 oz cups.

The display panel was backlit with fluorescent lamps.

Inside of the

MC5

series door. The cup magazine is the brown cylinder at the upper right, with the cup vend motor directly below. Below it is a chute to the vend stage, which is the silver item lower right center. The white box to its left is the coin equipment and change maker. These machines were offered with an income totalizer, which I believe is the orange box at lower right.

View of the

MC5

interior. Powdered creme and sugar containers are at the upper left,. The coffee brewer is at the right, with clear plastic to direct the spent coffee grounds to the slop bucket at lower right. The hot water heater is directly above the coffee brewer. At the lower left is a spare slop bucket. At the lower center is the spot where the paper cup is spotted, with two nozzles leading to it to discharge coffee or whipped chocolate. This machine appears to be new, with labels as shipped from the factory.

HD500

Here's another hot drink vendor. This one offers '4-way coffee', Whipped Chocolate and Whipped Soup. Its claim to fame was that it offered '500-cup capacity in less space than a 250-cup machine!'

662CH

Price (October, 1963) $895. Extra cream and sugar feature $12.00

Evidently the fact that Seeburg had bought the Bally vendor line was so important, they published flyers showing machines still having the Bally logo on them. This machine features a piston driven brewer, which brews coffee a cup at a time. It can hold 200 7 oz squat cups or 250 7 oz tall cups. It, too offers coffee 4 ways, which seems to be pretty standard for the time.
