Title: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: SIGNGUY on February 09, 2011, 03:09:07 pm I got an email from a guy with this machine. he says the tag says Vendo 81.. its' a mexican Machine with the embossing "Tome" rather than drink.. it is a 9 selection machine but has different look to it, almost like a Cav 72 or V56 cabinet, but a coin door from an 80 or something like that, it's electric,, also look at the vent holes in the main cabinet?
I just thought it strange enough to share!.. Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: Pat Pixley on February 09, 2011, 03:50:15 pm THat is kinda cool looking 8) John I think that would be a kind of a fun one to restore .

Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: collecture on February 09, 2011, 05:38:33 pm The rounded corners are more similar to a V-56 than the V-81. Are you sure it is a 9-pull?
Are you going to buy it? Looks like a cool machine to add to the collection! Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: MoonDawg on February 09, 2011, 07:44:07 pm This photo is from Jeff Walters old calendars

Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: Crazzy Canuck on February 10, 2011, 09:02:30 am Seen one years ago at Kane County in Chicago. Think Dale Larouche sold it to Walters.
Cool machine Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: SIGNGUY on February 10, 2011, 09:25:24 am It's currently located in Mexico, the owner contacted me with some questions about it.. I do not own it and he is in the process of restoring it.. but he too was confused on the model as he knows what the American Vendo 81 looks like.. so the mystery continues.
Yes it's a 9 pull machine as seen in additional photos.. and he is restoring it back to two two toned color scheme.. One thing about those Mexican machines, I REALLY like those Bottle Holders they have on the sides of them.. WOW>. wonder if my wife will let me get one of those to put on my 81's?

Cool machine. I like it a lot. Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: glenp87 on February 10, 2011, 12:51:20 pm Where did she put the bottle cap?
Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: cokecolaman on February 15, 2011, 08:43:52 pm I know a guy that's very interested in that machine...if you don't want to purchase it, would you be willing to put them in contact?
Thanks, Ron Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: SIGNGUY on February 16, 2011, 09:35:59 am The machine was not for sale when I first got the email,, the guy was merely interested in my opionion on the model number... he has already started restoring it back to two toned and is planning on keeping it. I of course did mention to him that if he ever was interested in selling it, I know a few guys who would be interested in it.. so for now, not available, but hopefully he keeps my number/email....
Thanks John Title: Re: Interesting Mexican Coke Machine, Tag says Vendo 81?? Post by: collecture on February 16, 2011, 09:39:29 am Just curious....what kind of value would you put on a Mexican V-81??
