Hello everyone. I finished my Pepsi 81 last night and wanted to share some pictures. As you can see, Tom did another excellent job with the coin mechanism.

Take care,

Jerry

Thanks. It was pretty hammered when I started. I tried to post some before photos but I'm not able to for some reason.

I'll call that a perfect machine. Perfect color, all one color, not 2 tone. The right graphics with just the square decal on the side. Love it!

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I would like to pass on what I did with the insulation and sound deadening. It is probably amateur night for most of the veterans on the site, but here it goes anyway. I put sound deadening on the back end of the tub where the evaporator sits. I also put a layer of  double reflective insulation on the back end of the tub and door liner. I am sure it is over kill but I have to tell you after it cools down the condenser only comes on once an hour to hour and twenty minutes. Drinks stay at approx 31-32 degrees. The machine is so quite, you almost have to open the bottle door to make sure it is on.

Great info on the sound deadening addition.  Never would have thought of that, but might be asking you more questions on the next machine I work on.

Thanks. Yes I did. I purchased the sled sign and had a local neon company build the can and bend the neon. It is the standard 18x43" sled.

Thanks
