This guy said he's been in the vending machine business since 1962 and still had a few machines left in his basement. He saw the episode of american restorations and said "hey, i have one one those machines" I'm going to try and sell it. Seems like a great guy and was really interested in how I got into collecting soda machines. He said the top display was damaged while moving the machine so they just tossed it. Hopefully, it wont be too hard to fabricate another on. Can't wait to go pick it up.

Maybe they need to restore a RC81 on TV. That way they will start popping up everywhere.

If anyone wants to go in on getting a top fabricated, let me know. I could use one.

brian, I will be fabricating a top for this machine so I'll let you know when I finish. I'll make a couple extra ones in the process.

I could use a top also. Jim if you have the art work for the oval piece I would be interested in it. I have a guy screening and making the glass for the top piece. He should have them done this month.

Rod, I am also interested in the Glass display. Jim, let us know what you have for artwork. Maybe we can get in on a bulk order.

Sorry for the delay!
I have preliminary artwork for this marquee...
Meaning it was sent to me as a Photoshop file, but I have not converted to a vector based image which is much cleaner and better...
I would need to have accurate measurements of all dimensions including white and yellow line thickness, gray thickness, etc, etc...
If someone has a nice original that may not be installed, the actual measurements may be easier to obtain.
If I had all the measurements, I could then create an accurate marquee for reproduction.
