Uhh..Josh ...Half as good?... Half of $0 is still $0... I don't think you can do better unless its a Pepsi 81 AND a RC 81 biggrin
And we remember all your deals!... Heck you're still finding deal and you where on the other side of the world!

Welcome.... Glen is great! Helped me out on a Dole Dispenser for parts a couple years back!
Great machine!....This will be just the beginning for you! happydrinkers

Amazing! And I loved the story too.

Just think, you may have just saved that machine from the scrap yard.

Great find. Amazing!

Wow, what an awesome find. As the others have said, Glen does great work, you won't be let down!

It's a good thing that your 81 spent it's life in California or you would have more problems than just surface rust! Here in the Midwest, that poor machine would have more than likely been in terrible shape.

Excellent story, can't wait to see the finished product! biggrin

Awesome Story and Incredible Find... Lucky Guy!  Now don't expect ALL of your other machines to come to you that easy!,, Yes I did say more machines, it's very addicting and now once Glen gets done with it, your gonna want a shiney restored Coke 81 to put next to it... I'm sure Glen can help you out with that too!   biggrin
Congrats and welcome to the board.

Great story with a good ending smile you save a part of history.
Like everyone has told you, Glen Does do great work and that 81 will look
better that it did when came out of the factory .

And welcome to the site we all would like you to stay around
for a long time , And tell us about that next machine that followed you home
from a job site or that you ran across smile.
