What do you guys think of the price?
I think he is a bit high....it is nice, but $1200 nice? The signs look mint and most of the value (to me) is in them - I assume there is another mint round sign on the other side.

I'd offer $650 and see what happens. Have a white frame glass door that's yours if you get it.

Nice machine.. seems a little high on the price... But there's a lot of money in signs and parts there too
Would like to walk around in there.. looks like other machines and jukes in the background.

But I bet $100 this is not original. I have seen these Transitional 56's a lot in DP but never in this paint style and not with porcelain signs. I bet someone in the 80's repainted it to look like an 81 since these were worth nothing back then. But still its really coll but what I am saying is you can get a generic V56 anywhere and do it in that theme. The signs are not that hard to find.

I think it is original Josh!
The machine is familiar to me!
I bet the #167 sticker on the bottle door is a lot number from an auction.

I figured it out:

This was in that auction in Dallas - June 2010 - Check out lot 167 "DP machine 10 cent Vendorlator"

I very well could be wrong. I have seen several Dr pepper transitional 56's and 81's and they have all been reddish/ maroon color if I remember but I know they were not mint green and they did not have porcelain signs. Thats not to say maybe Dr pepper did a few of them in the early days of the transitional machines or it could even be an early limited run or even prototype since it is in Texas where the headquarters would be. You never know. I was just saying I have seen other transition Dr Pepper machines and all have not been green with a porcelain sign. But thats not to say the ones I saw were not redone by dr pepper in the field too. If I remember correctly they were all electric vend ones I have seen and why I never bought one but being that they were electric and able to change price easily and give change they could have been in use late into the 60's/70's so the ones I have seen may have been redone by dr pepper to follow the changing tiles. Who knows.
