Vendo 81 cleaned up and polished

Well fresh paint and whole lot of elbow grease, blood,sweat and tears. '>

I agree with rogerz. An original is only original once. While restored ones do look awesome and I do plan on having a few of mine restored, the originals are the best (there is just something about it). I have acquired a few so far and have posted pics in the photo gallery for all to see.

Nice gallery Tom. sweet machines.

Are those the original decals on the 81?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the compliment. Yes on all decals on all of the machines. Actually, I think they are all silkscreened on the 81 - I don't know about the others, but I think they are silkscreened as well. I have noted the only things I have done to them. The 81 is the only machine that I have done anything really major to - POR15 to the bottom of the liner and I added a reproduction 5 cent decal to the bezel. I have taken new pics of it and will replace the ones in the gallery soon. I currently have it full of drinks and as soon as it is empty, I will post a pic of the inside also. I also have a nice VMC DP 110 that I will add soon also. I am waiting on an original DP green bottle door to replace the rusted one that is currently on it. I just hope it buffs out and matches well.
