2 machines of equal condition. Which one will bring the higher offer? Vendo 56 or the 81d?

Gotta love both!

Just my take.

I agree with everyone who said 81D.  The 56 is a great machine too and the small size is nice.  The reasons I think the 81 would win is because it has a nicer curve at the top, it has stylish ribs along the left side, the bottle door lights up, and it has a cool "Have a Coke" medallion in the bottle door.  Medallion (nice original) beats decal every time.  I'm like Rod though in my love for the 81B.  I think its coin door and bezel have a more aesthetically pleasing look than the 81D or 56.   The one major plus on an 81D (or 56) is the availability of a change making coin mechanism.

The funny thing though is that I own four Vendo 56s and two 81D and I actually paid a higher average price for the 56s.
