Title: Name this Machine
Post by: vintage-air on November 05, 2010, 05:23:35 pm
I found this on CL and he's wanting $500 for it. Looks a lot like a Vendo 81 wih a square top. What do you guys think?

Yep it is a transition 81. I have one that was originally turquoise and white like this but someone painted it green

$500 is not a bad price, but less is better. You won't lose $$ on $500, but you won't make much $$ on $500 either.

A transitional or a Faygo?  I do like the turquoise/white and old logo, maybe I'll do a fantasy machine one day

is the coin door on this machine the same as the Vendo 81-D? Looks the same to me.

Some of the coin bezel mounting holes will need to be filled and some new ones some drilled, but other than that it is the same.
