Machine looks great.  Love the story too.  Glad to hear your trip was such a success.  I have never been a huge fan of Pepsi but love the look of their machines.  Now just how "old" do you have to be to want a jukebox?

[BONOVOX]

Lol.... I know when I was writing that part about the jukeboxes I would get a reply or two.... and I thought after that here I am collecting machines that area of the same era as a juke box!  Sorry if I offended anyone with that remark    I guess I just grew up in a different time, where juke boxes were not in ANY place that I have ever been to as a kid, and so I have no attachment to them.  Although there were never RT machines either in my childhood memories, there were Coke and Pepsi machines around, and I drink more soda that I do breath in air lol.

I can apprciate the jukes, I mean, the detail and workmanship that went into those machines is awesome!

I'm not even 40 yet (few more months lol) and yet I have grey hairs starting up... so I guess I've joined the club as an older guy lol.

Beautiful machine!!  Congrats!  I know my wife would love it as she's a Pepsi girl thru and thru.  I found an original machine just like that one, but the guy wants $1000 for it...a little out of my range at this point, although I wish I could get it.  Great story and congrats again!!

That  is a lovely machine.. I'm assuming it vends only the smaller bottles??

Dave,
The VMC88 will vend 6.5oz. and 12oz. bottles; however, it is still a single flavor machine.

A fellow member here asked me to post some pics of the 88 next to my 81's just to visually see the difference in size...
