Nice machine Junior.... AND WELCOME!!!
Like others have said, it all depends on the grade of the machine.... BUT it also depends on where you're located.
Of all the machines that I own, the CLOSEST that I found a machine to me that I bought at a decent price was 4.5 hrs away... and I've gone as far as 11 hrs away. I'm located in Canada, so I know that plays a HUGE factor in selection, as most machines of the 40-50's did'nt come up here like down in the U.S. What machines we do have of that era, are typically brought up by collectors, or are the non collected ones, V80's etc....
Square top machines here are a PLENTY!!
So, making a trip to Ohio, PA, NY or MI is a joy ride for me lol
Vendo 81's when little they do come up for sale here, are selling for about 3,000- 3,500 unrestored in ok condition.
