Title: Question about a Transitional 81 Post by: piston101 on February 28, 2010, 02:07:25 pm Someone told me they have a "transitional 81", which they said was only made for a year or so and was actually a transitional model between round tops and square tops. Has anyone heard of such a machine, and is it rare? Any idea as to year or value? Thanks.

I cannot wait!!! I told my soon to be new wife about it and believe it or not she is excited. She can't wait to help work on it! Yes - what happened? Did your fiancee back out of the project? Title: Re: Question about a Transitional 81 Post by: loman4ec on March 01, 2010, 03:54:47 pm No I am going to. He just asked if I had anything to trade and thats all that I have. I would like to have the W44. They are not popular but I like them. I finally told him I don't want to sell the 81. Its too nice.

I want to buy the machines but I really want to keep my Transitional 81. Thats such a cool machine. I think I am going to do it in RC Cola instead of Faygo though.
