I got an email from a guy with this machine. he says the tag says Vendo 81.. its' a mexican Machine with the embossing "Tome" rather than drink.. it is a 9 selection machine but has different look to it, almost like a Cav 72 or V56 cabinet, but a coin door from an 80 or something like that, it's electric,, also look at the vent holes in the main cabinet?
I just thought it strange enough to share!..

Almost looks like it was originally two-tone....the chrome trim has been painted and the white lettering looks like it was hand painted

The rounded corners are more similar to a V-56 than the V-81. Are you sure it is a 9-pull?
Are you going to buy it? Looks like a cool machine to add to the collection!

Seen one years ago at Kane County in Chicago. Think Dale Larouche  sold it to Walters.
 Cool machine

It's currently located in Mexico, the owner contacted me with some questions about it.. I do not own it and he is in the process of restoring it.. but he too was confused on the model as he knows what the American Vendo 81 looks like.. so the mystery continues.

Yes it's a 9 pull machine as seen in additional photos.. and he is restoring it back to two two toned color scheme..

One thing about those Mexican machines, I REALLY like those Bottle Holders they have on the sides of them.. WOW>. wonder if my wife will let me get one of those to put on my 81's?

I know a guy that's very interested in that machine...if you don't want to purchase it, would you be willing to put them in contact?

Thanks,

The machine was not for sale when I first got the email,, the guy was merely interested in my opionion on the model number... he has already started restoring it back to two toned and is planning on keeping it.  I of course did mention to him that if he ever was interested in selling it, I know a few guys who would be interested in it.. so for now, not available, but hopefully he keeps my number/email....

Thanks
