Title: My First Vendo 81 Post by: Slapshot42 on February 18, 2012, 10:11:11 pm I picked this one up today. I had been emailing the seller off and on for nearly a year or so. We finally were able to decide on a price. I was lucky it was about 90 minutes from the house.
It's a nice original. The owner's brother worked for Coke for nearly 15 years and had picked this one up for them. They had stored inside ever since. Thanks for the help earlier in the week. I was able to get it for $1200. http://s1180.photobucket.com/albums/x404/JaredRolen/1941%20Coke%20Girl/Coke%20Machine%20Vendo%2081/ Title: Re: My First Vendo 81 Post by: Slapshot42 on February 18, 2012, 10:12:05 pm More pics:

Title: Re: My First Vendo 81 Post by: cokecolaman on February 19, 2012, 04:40:53 pm I like the title of the thread...I'm not sure how many of us knew we could or would own more than one Vendo 81. I remember looking FOREVER for my first one and had to drive to 16 hrs to get it...they just didn't come up for sale around me very often...and the day I purchased the first one, I found another one and ended up buying it also. Good looking machine, Jared.
