Title: dr pepper sign Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on August 22, 2011, 11:42:21 pm can anyone tell me if this would be the correct sign for the front of a dr pepper vmc 81, sign is in near mint condition, what would the value be?
Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on August 23, 2011, 08:57:19 am C'mon where are all the experts? Rod aka ross, Ron, rob, lol John aka signguy, Joey. Didn't a few people recently restore a 81 dr pepper? Is it worth the 200.00 the guy is asking for it.
Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: SIGNGUY on August 23, 2011, 09:13:29 am I guess I am not certain as I never had one... I think if memory serves there are a few different sizes of that sign too and one is correct for the VMC 81.
sorry , wish was more help.. guess I need to change my user id. :oops: :down: Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: collecture on August 23, 2011, 10:08:51 am Personally I like the 10" round signs on the front of the 81's, but the rectangular signs have been used too.
Don't have mine handy to get the measurements, but I think it is like 13" or 14" long. $200 seems high to me, but if it is really NM then I'd might go for it. Most times there are edge chips on the signs and they usually sell for $100-$125. Will he come down at all? Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: Funtronics on August 23, 2011, 10:50:51 am Post what size it is and I can tell you if it is the right one. I have a complete set at home for the Dr Pepper machine.
Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on August 23, 2011, 01:38:37 pm Rod it is 17 x 6
Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: collecture on August 23, 2011, 02:03:45 pm Rod it is 17 x 6 That is the size of sign on the DP VMC81 in Walter's 3rd book There is also a smaller version (13"x5"), as pictured on the SelectiVend S-48 in Walter's 3rd book Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: Funtronics on August 23, 2011, 02:40:45 pm Tom is correct. The one you have is the med sized sign that will fit on your VMC 81 but will be tight. I used the 13" one on my machine. There is also a larger version of this sign which is a step up from the one you have, and will not fit on the machine at all.
Title: Re: dr pepper sign Post by: BONOVOX on August 23, 2011, 04:55:16 pm My machine has the 17 x 6 sign.... and I was told by the previous owner, who has pics of the machine in its unrestored condition, that the signs are the original dp logos on the front and sides.

OOOPS! good luck in gettin the VMC generic... been looking for one my self to turn into a Crush... but when they do come up on greedbay, it's either too far, or WAY too much for what it is, or lack therof (missing parts) |
