Guys,

Last night while I was taking inventory of all of my VMC 81 Pepsi machine parts that I am getting ready send out to get plated/powdercoated, I realized that I was missing (1) complete Bottle Gate Arm Assembly. I have a few different styles laying around from parted-out bottle stacks that I have come across over the years but I don't have one with the same configuration as the VMC 81 Bottle Gate.

Anybody have one they want to part with? Thanks!

I thought a Vendo V90 arm was the same as a V81?

Brian,
I'm sure I have a few extra Arms... I have only seen two different styles, and it's only on the connecting end away from the "gate" end.. some have a straight pivoting rod, like yours does on the right hand side, and some have a more triangular connector..
I'm assuming you need one that looks like yours in the photo..
call me , I'm sure I have one.. will check tonight.

John,

Yes, you are correct on the shape.

The spares that I have are originally from a Vendorlator VF117 and they have the more triangular connector.

Thanks for taking a look for me, I appreciate it.

Sorry it took so long getting back to you. We just got back home this afternoon from a 4-night Western Caribbean cruise. We left on the day that you posted your response that you have one, thanks for digging it out. If possible, I'd like to have it prior to the Chicago show. I'm getting ready to send a large lot of stuff off to be plated and would love to include that.

Let me know what you need for it and the shipping! Again, thanks!   smile
