 Did anyone see the VMC 81 Dr Pepper for sale on ebay?  I have a question for the experts on the site. All of the Dr Pepper machines I have seen have all had a white bottle stack, but this one is red ?  Can someone explain the difference or why ? thank you

I found it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/DR-PEPPER-MACHINE_W0QQitemZ220511740419QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3357862203

Also two toned and in my opinion, doesnt look to swift on a DP 81

This is just a guess but I bet it was missing it's bottle stack and they found one from a parted out Coke 81 and just didn't bother to paint it.

well he is asking 6800.00 for it.  you would think that for that kind of money he would have at least painted the bottle stack white!

I think he wanted it red. He's trying to tie it in with the red on the dr. pepper logo. you notice he used the red ice cold decal on the bottle door also. not a bad looking machine. to bad no one will see it on e-bay just using "dr pepper machine" on the e-bay title.

If you look closely it looks like he painted everything on the inside light grey. Its not hammertone but just plain light grey paint. Why would anyone do that?

Looks like the guys did a nice job on the resto.  Not a bad looking machine but I prefer the all green for the DP machines. 

And because I'm a smart-alec (at least that is what my Dad used to say!) I have to ask the question:  "I wonder if this was this a "professional" restoration?"   glare laugh biggrin

Looks like a regular old "restoration" to me. Decent looking machine.
