Title: 7-Up VMC 33
Post by: Marvin on August 03, 2010, 10:57:48 pm
I have a line on a pretty clean 7-Up embossed VMC 33.  It has about a 15 year old restoration on it, but looks pretty good from the pics. 

I have not seen any 7-Up 33 sell recently.  What's a fair value to this piece?

This guy also has a slot machine I'm thinking about. 

I need to win the lottery.  Then all my problems would be solved. Or maybe they would just be starting...

Looks nice Marvin...hope you get it! My fav of the 33's!
Restored price is a guess...$2500?? ?? ?? Don't see too many!
Joey - what was it that Randy sold the 7UP 33 door for? $600 or so wasn't it? That is the last 7UP 33 machine part I've seen for sale.

Why did they put a 7UP decal where the VMC Foil Cal should be? I'd replace that!

I bet since it was restored 15 years ago they could not find a good souce for a new decal. That is a neat machine though.

Fun-Tronics was in business then - since 1979 I believe.

It is an amateur restoration at best.  Found out today it was done more like 20-25 years ago.  It has some rough looking body work under the paint.  But still looks like it could go in the house without much problem for a while. 

We're still talking price.  He wants 1800.00.  I think I can get him lower though.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm thinking 1500.00 and he will throw in the slot machine.

I have mad negotiating skills.

Maybe you can get him to throw in the Seeburg 100-W
