RC 81 VMC PIC

[BONOVOX]

Hi all.
Just wanted to thank this board for ALL the info that I have obtained over the short time that I have been a member, and to post a pic of my "boys" all lined up for the last time till they meet their brother 7up one day I hope.
As well, having recently purchased the RC 81 from a board member, I thought I would show the back side of the machine if anyone needs a pic of that for reference, or curiosity.
Again, thanks to all!

Thanks all!
Here are some pics that the seller sent to me before I picked it up.
Whoever did the resto, did a GREAT job!

ANyone have an idea how to read the serial number tags?
As well, I remember reading once somewhere regestering a RC 81 in some kind of a database, to maybe see just how many of these there really are.

       Nice line-up!  Not many sellers would let you peel the liner back to prove it was the real deal.

MoonDawg;

No, Im sure not many sellers would let ANYONE peel a liner back to check, yet as I've stated in other posts, this seller, (from the site) is a standup guy!
We made the deal for the machines, and agreed that if it were not to be a real machine, I was not obligated to buy it.  As well, if it were real, yet we broke the machine in any manner, or scratched it etc, then I still had to buy it, which was fair.  He understood my concerns, and he did not doubt for a moment that it was NOT the real deal, so why not let me look right?!? ) It still had the original yellow on the inside, along with glue/tar that held the original insulation.... Once I saw the back, it was game on!

I mean, I would buy a CRUSH machine without looking at the back, cause I know they are ALL real! ;o)  (Truth be told, I LOVE the way those CRUSH machines look.... must resist though lol
