Looks like someone grafted a Vendorlator coin door onto another machine...something about it just doesn't look 'right'.

Nope, It's a real-deal VF series /VF90/F-B, :smile: although Coke never partnered with Dr. Pepper , the split marque (light-up sign) is more common with 7up & other off brands of the day.  the Coke "wave" sign doesn't belong on this era machine anyway. interesting that it also has a can vending rack too...

It appears both Coke & DP signs were "cut to fit"

So what you are saying is (ok...everyone all together now)...   "Restored these are worth $6,000-$7,000!"    :jawdrop:

I'd better go get it ASAP - this fool has no idea what a gold mine he is sitting on!   :glare:

Yeah lol... that and the fact that I can't resist throwing in a Rick Dale ref. any chance I get.
When I'm having a crappy day, I go on YouTube and watch how he trasnformed that 39 into that Cav.  It always brings a smile to my face.
