Well..... I think with this purchase, I have everything I want in my collection (except for that elusive 81 7up) and with this, I am retired from collecting.  I wont say no to great deals to flip, or to upgrade a machine or two of mine (or heck, even a nice Jr Quikold.... lol)  but as for uprights, I am done.  I just cant see a 7up 81 coming my way anytime soon.

So, with this RC 110 that I picked up on the weekend, it completes the 5 110's that were made.
All machines are complete except for the 7up missing the coin mech, and the RC is missing a few shelves and the crank handle.
They are all tucked away for future resto's.... and moving 5 110's today to take this picture.... made me realize that I am NOT putting them downstairs (13 steps on a round staircase) in the mancave, but will have to work on the wife over the years to have them upstairs.  I think I can do it too! lol

Nice line up. Looks like you need the Dr Pepper and the Coke small coin door 110.

Great score Ed!  Glad you were able to assemble the entire line-up. But who are you trying to kid with this nonsensical talk of retirement? biggrin Cool laugh

You finished that collection, now you will find something else to collect.  Maybe you can start on signs to decorate more wall space now.  I would hate to move all of those machines at how much they probably weigh.  Congrats-

You may slow down a bit, but never retire...

what is your 81 collection looking like , do you have all of them (except for the 7up) as well?

Pull those out into the backyard next to the 110s'... would make for a killer photo... and well take up a fund for the Chiropractor bill!!! glare oh biggrin

Yes I have all the 81's except for the "elanor" 7up 81
Pepsi 81 original
Coke 81 refurbished
Dr Pep 81 restored
RC Cola 81 restored

True, I may not retire lol, but after moving 5 110's in an hour,  retirement was on my mind  laugh.
I'll never stop being a member here though  smile
