I like the Vendo 81's and probably would choose it as the most wanted model based on prices and board posts I have seen.

What do you guys think?  Maybe the 44? 56? Cav72?

The most WANTED model is most definately the 81, but personally I like the RT V-56. It appears to be more prone to rust issues, but is smaller in size.

Lol, I hadn't seen that model.  There is a Mills 120 up for auction at the one I am going to this Sat.  I have to check out what these machines are all about.  The 120 seems to have a bullet-hole in it though!

Hands down the 81 is the most desireable due to it's versatility and smaller size than the 110, but I'd have to say the Jacobs 144 MONSTER is a close second.. I actuall sat inside one once! guy was gooing to make a phone booth out of it.

I must have stumbled on your sweetened barrels.  Hic up!

My guess would be the

Vendo Decapper
Vendo/VMC 81
Jacob 56
Vendo/VMC 44
Vendo 56
cavalier72
cavalier 96
Vendo 88
Vendo/Vmc 110's
Vmc 33
Vmc 27
vmc72
vendo 39

But, I would still start my list with either a Lyons 500 or a Mills 400C. tounge

Right now it seems the 81... but as time goes by who knows.. a square top could take their place... I've noticed the past couple years
as members come and go here more square tops are becoming the topic... Myself I've had both and prefer the round tops still I guess
but my favorite has become... of course... coolers... I'd take a junior or standard Quikold over a 81 I think... When I started out
collecting it was round tops 81s, 72, 56s,39s but now I'm down to a rt56, 39 and a 33.. love my coolers and that's all I focus on....
So anyone out there got a Pepsi or RC Quikold for sale?...Anyone?

You do know I have an RC Standard Quikold right??? Might let it go! Larry, any cup machines at the upcoming auction? What is in the picture to the left of this Mills machine? Looks like a cup machine or popcorn machine?

81's are probably the best, but I really like the square tops too.

For me it is whatever machine I happen to be pursuing at the time!  biggrin

Obviously, there are the super rare Vendo DeCapper and the Victor Kooler Grille.  But for ones that might actually show up, I say the Vendo/VMC 81 and 44.  Those are high on my list anyway!

I would have to agree on the 81 as being the most desirable.

I have other favorites and have some bias towards certain machines. I really like the "thin" Square Tops like the Cavalier 55 Series machines and the Westinghouse 44.

The Mills 400C is pretty cool too!  laugh

Whatever  machine  strikes my fancy at that moment.
and while some of the uber rare machines are nice, I just don't think they are that desirable.  RC Cola was a minor  niche cola  in Michigan, If I didn't know of it's rarity, I'd  prolly  choose a  Coke or Pepso 81 over an RC 81.

I would have to say the  Lacrosse64 or 56  laugh  laugh 
honesty Right now yeah the 81 Would be the more popular machine,
but myself a nice little Sq. top 56 I think they have come along ways
and I think as time goes by they too will become more popular.


  good subject biggrin
