Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on October 12, 2011, 06:47:26 pm
just in case anyone didnt see this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dr-Pepper-VMC-81-Restored-Soda-Machine-Coke-Pepsi-/320772137288?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aaf826148#ht_575wt_1344

i'm confused about his first line in the description:::

Restored, rare, embossed VMC 81Dr. Pepper vending machine for sale by Soda Springs Vintage Soda Machine Parts & Restoration. how can it be embossed

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and say that he meant the VMC logo is embossed, and not just a decal.

I am thinking more that it is an honest mistake in that he click the "Sell Another" button and forgot to edit out the "embossed" when he changed the "7UP" to "Dr. Pepper"

Did they come with either the round or rectangular sign on the front? Or is one way correct and original?

Yeah I am sure Jim just made a typo on that.. he is not a newbie to the hobby and I think he does pretty nice work.. even down the correct mason Jar Condensation collector, I like that touch..
I am not sure on the correct porcelain sign for the front,, Personally I like the rectangle on the front and the round for the sides..

when I do my Dr. Pepper machine I'll be using the rectangular on the front and round ones on the side...

Do you know where you can get those signs? I have a VMC generic 110 I want to do as a Dr. Pepper.

Monitor ebay. It seems they come up for sale very rarely. There were 2 rectangular signs recently. One of them sold for $275.
