Came out of Ottawa Ontario Canada.

       I wish I knew more about that picture, but these may not be embossed machines, maybe it's a second assembly line?
       With the exception of the Pepsi, all these brands......7up, RC, Coke and Dr.Pepper were offered as generic machines.
       Hope I'm not throwing a wrench into Joey's research, but just realized this myself.

       Edit:      Has anyone ever seen an original generic Pepsi 81?

Not at all Glen, the only round top 81 Pepsi that Ive seen other than a VMC embossed Pepsi was a re branded Coke Vendo 81 that was worked over and turned into a Pepsi. I believe John restored it and it was found around the St Louis Area.

Another strange question about this photo whenever I look at it as well, is if this is an Assembly Line? why would they all be random machines.
In my limited experience of assembly lines , the general idea is to do one of the same over and over until that run is done?
This almost looks like a final staging or inspection line? but again, why the random order of brands?

and Joey, I'll get you my Serial off my 7up VMC 81 .. it's buried now , but will get to it soon... I also have a generic coming in for restoration next weekend and will get you the numbers off of that.

I blew up the picture on my I Pad and it appears that the benches have Paint &Brushes in cups & None of the machine appear to have coin mechs installed .

Maybe a Graphic application touch up area ??

Here are mine:

Generic:  106 604 D41

RC Cola:  104 672 B41

Pepsi    :  100 412 B41

I've always wondered about the letter that is placed within the ID tag No.   I can understand what the numbers indicate, but what is the rhyme and/or reason for the letter?  Are D's for the generics, B's for the Pepsi etc.... or are the letters as scattered with various machines?
I'm wondering because of the fact that my RC has a B as does my Pepsi

[coke_and_stuff]

I have quite a few Pepsi numbers all are B code, all the RC numbers are C code that I have with the exception of yours. Chances are you have a Pepsi tag on your RC but it's to early to tell.

This is what I have so far

All Pepsi is B code
Generics are D and F codes
7up B and F codes
All RC is C codes with the exception of the one B code.

Hello Joey;
Took me a while to get to my RC 81 but I did get it out last night to start on it. The serial number is 102228 C 41.

In reply to John (sign Guy) the harley plant does random production. if you take a tour of the plant one might be a roadking and the next bike is a fatboy

Thanks Rod! as well John! still looking for More Numbers, I know several board members have 7ups and RCs would love to hear from you.
