After 3 years of sitting around in my garage, I have come to the realization that I am not going to get around to completing the restoration on my VMC 81 Pepsi machine.

The machine is complete with the exception of a few small items but all of the heavy hitters/expensive items are present, like:
- Solid body with straight louvers (As always, the middle shelf between the compressor compartment and the main compartment needsto be replaced)
- Solid/straight Main Door with perfect embossing
- Large Coin Door
- Change giver Coin Mechanism (missing the chrome handle, available from multiple sources)
- Correct VMC Coin Bezel. It's been re-chromed and foil cal applied!
- Refrigeration deck has been restored & tested. It had a new compressor installed and only needs the wiring harness hooked-up
- Complete Vending Mechanism stack. It's been disassembled and all parts re-plated. Face plate needs to be painted and the front stack assembly (stainless steel) needs to be polished
- Full set of bottle shelves (need new springs) Sliders have already been powder coated.
- The body & main door were sandblasted but could stand a light blasting again.

Please take a look at the pictures. For those of you who know these machines, you know what it's worth alone in parts. I have already   completed a lot of the hard work. Basically, buy a few small parts here and there, get the body painted and throw it together and you will have an awesome machine!

I'm asking $2400. PM me if you are interested or have any questions.

I informed the buyer that I would only sell it to a good home that would lovingly restore it in ALL BLUE!!! laugh

Just kidding! But, I prefer the all blue and that was my original plan for it before life jumped to the head of the line, the nerve!!! biggrin
