Yes this is the rare can stack Vendo 81A! Only one still known to exist! Just got back from the coffee shop so sorry for the delay! Anyways yes this is the only one I have ever seen. Notice at the bottom of the stack that the round cylinder is still present. Machine vends and works as it should. Taking offers starting at 10,000.00 since its so rare! You will never see another one. More rare than the Vendo 81 C!

JK!

I thought it would sound good but its just a pretty cool modification that the previous owner father made. The person I purchased the machine from stated that her Dad was Vice President of Coca Cola. He preferred his Soda in Cans! She inherited it and was just tired of dragging it around. SO I was more than happy to help her out with this burden! Check out the pics!

          Nobody prefers cans, 20 cent decal on coin entry bezel indicates it may have been in service for a while.

Has anyone taken a can rack from a 90 or 110 squaretop and tried to modify it? I know very few would want this...but I'm sure there are a few willing to pay for it if it cold be done.

Nope. The young lady I purchased it from said her dad did the conversion. The neat thing is that you can do both cans and bottles out of this machine! I am pretty sure.

Well we shall soon see what someone will pay for such a machine.

Once I clean it up i will post some better close up pics.

I forgot to mention that the sweeet lady also gave me the box of parts that her dad kept to convert it back to bottlesn with all the shelves.

When you said this, I was half expecting you to say he actually requested a custom made V81A-9C from Vendo.  Oo
