Title: Never thought I'd have 2 of these at the shop at the same time! Post by: SIGNGUY on February 16, 2010, 03:23:20 pm First off, I've always been a coke guy, but after restoring a Pepsi VMC 88 for a customer, I was thinking I gotta find me a Pepsi 81.. The orange one was on ebay a few weeks ago, I bid, but didn't win, but one of my previous customers did and it is now up at my shop awaiting a restoration!... a few days later I responded to an ad I saw for a Pepsi Machine and ended up buying the blue one.. both are nice complete machines from what I can see, haven't drilled out the orange one yet to see what's inside, but looks complete. The blue one is nice and straight, someone painted the whole interior BLACK with spray paint, rack, tub, compressor, everthing... not sure what look they where going for?
So the next project , which I'll start in a few weeks will be restoring both at the same time! Title: Re: Never thought I'd have 2 of these at the shop at the same time! Post by: Pat Pixley on February 16, 2010, 04:58:41 pm Well looks like it will be a fun project John :biggrin:.

Plan is to restore the one for the customer who owns it, and the blue one I'm restoring for myself,,, but just like most things in my collections, Everything is for sale for the right buyer :biggrin:Title: Re: Never thought I'd have 2 of these at the shop at the same time!

Your customer's machine would look good "professionally restored" into one of those rare Orange Crush machine! :laugh: 8) :biggrin: Great machines both--and that's coming from a Coke guy! :drinking: Tim :drinking: |
