Title: Vendo 81D Any Comments on Value? Post by: Ezra on February 08, 2012, 08:08:06 pm Any comments on a range of value?
Are these hard to find in your opinion? Thank You Title: Re: Vendo 81D Any Comments on Value? Post by: johnieG on February 08, 2012, 09:03:18 pm Nice!, It's the most sought after model in the V81 lineup, looks like a Jacobs26/Coke to the left & an Ideal55/Pepsi slider to the right..I also see a big dent & an automotive air-conditioner compressor chucked against it's side..ouch!

If warm water and several soft towels clean the 81 to good orginal paint and it's complete/cooling you have a $2100 + machine. Very hard to find in unmolested condition. Can't help on the slider.

He called the seller and it can be had for what we would consider a very reasonable price.
I told him to hang up the phone and go get it NOW because it wouldn't be there tomorrow. :biggrin: It will be interesting to hear his follow-up when he gets back. Newbies................sheesh!

I hope he gets it, and has a story to tell about buying it :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Vendo 81D Any Comments on Value?

Post by: Ezra on February 09, 2012, 12:46:28 pm Does the 25cent denonimation set off a red flag? that wasnt until the 70's i think.
Got a hold of the owner and I'm going there at 1pm today. Title: Re: Vendo 81D Any Comments on Value? Post by: collecture on February 09, 2012, 01:13:37 pm I've seen some oddball attempts to change the price on the LD mechs. There is a simple, unobtrusive and easily reversable way to make it a 25c mech. You adjust the rejector to accept only quarters and reject all other coins, but most people weld fingers together or otherwise modify the mech.
Hard to say what might be missing or modified! Below is a pic of what it should look like! Title: Re: Vendo 81D Any Comments on Value?
