Hey, how do the "purest" police think of the 39 idea.  I have a couple of them and I would love to do a fantasy machine.  I mean, Vendo made about 80,000 of them correct?

Like you Said Brian, they made over 80,000 of them and a 39 is one of the easiest machines to find if you want one... id say do whatever you like with it... the question will be what will you sacrifice to make the conversion.. or you could just remove or smooth out the embossing and decal it with whatever fantasy brand you'd like..

Could come up with some real cool machines... and not really be hurting anything... in my opinion..

As a "39 Purist",  I have no problem  with fantasy 39's, unless they are passed off as "factory made".  Personally, an RC cola 39 would be on my wish list - I think white top and yellow would be the bomb
