Nice pickup, did you ask about the Pepsi slider next to it.

Should be no sting at 1500 , thats fair market value for a barn find 81.. although some don't think you can find them for that still... but you can.. so congrats.. I'm picking one this weekend that I bought for 1500 as well,  I found on my local newspaper ad.  will post photos on Sunday..

       Very nice original machine. You will be so much further ahead restoring this one rather than the VMC 27 you have. Time and cost are close to the same but this one vends multiple flavors and sizes of bottles, which is was what Creighton was explaining in one of your earlier posts.
       I'm guessing you'll paint this the color of your Cobra? And you said the key was missing, how did you get it open?
       Anyway, that's a real nice find Bill. Did anyone tell you this hobby was addicting?

The guy found the key fortunately.  Very addicting, I'm curious what the next "Most Wanted" machine is next to the 81D?

Actually the most desireable model out there is the rare and hard to find Cornelious 50.  Fortunately I have access to one of these machines and would be willing to trade you straight up for your 81 D tounge

A Cornelious 50? Dang!  darn That must be rare! I have a "Cornelius" 50.  No second "o" in the name. I checked the tag.   tounge

     If it's missing the mech completely, yours will work no mater which style it originally came with.

Not necessarily true Glen!
Five basic LD mechs:
Westinghouse
Jacobs
Sure-Vend
VMC
Vendo
Main difference is the shaft length/pinhole, but there are a couple subtle differences between some models aside from change-giver & non-change-givers.

Not to hyjack this thread but I talked to Tom earlier today since this 81 is converted to electric coin mech . there could be some type of alterations to the vending stack also??

I will need to get more pictures to from the seller to determine if the vending stack will work to switch it back to a fuctional mechanical mech. machine, etc.

Thought suggestions..

Great buy on the machine and nice looking Cobra on the back!! biggrin

You got a good deal on that machine.  They are out there.  Just have to look harder for them.  The problem now is that everyone thinks the stuff is gold from watching TV. 

Square tops have been popping up around here with insane asking prices.
