It shouldn't be  problem since you're registered here at the site.

click "attach" button below the reply text area, locate & double-click on your photo, make sure your picture is in one of the acceptable formats..(IE..jpg, gif, etc. ) and also make sure your picture isn't bigger than the allowed size of 100kb per post

The machine is exactly like the Vmc vf56 pepsi machine from your older post...with the yellow sign and blue lettering

this one? If so, it's a hard sign to find, but not impossible, I have the same machine...these signs tend to crack easily, often due to aging related crazing* in the plastic.  

* crazing..multiple small shallow cracks in the plastic, it sometimes looks like alligator skin or cracked-ice over the surface of the sign & it often is due to heat from the light-bulb & sunlight reacting with the acrylic plastic of the sign, & sometimes from some types of solvents like acetone or mineral-spirits especially when the sign has deeply pressed embossed edges like this design does.

other than getting a sign shop to make you a flat version, ( they are 3D if you didn't know already) these signs are unique to the two years they produced this color scheme for Pepsi I'm afraid. '58 / '59
