Title: Door Liner Decal Pepsi 81
Post by: Slapshot42 on May 20, 2013, 12:47:03 pm
Has anybody seen or had this decal made?

It goes below the bottle loading decal of my Pepsi 81.  I know it's a very small detail.. Does anybody have one? Considering making a few.

I have not seen that, but Maybe I'm not reading it right? I don't get it.

You can load anything on the top 4 shelves... so not quite sure what they are telling you to do...?

The vending stack is faceplate is painted 2 colors the top 4 holes say for Pepsi Cola Only.

I don't get it either??

I think it is less Technical and more Marketing.  They didn't want you to load anything other than Pepsi in the top 4 shelves.

I agree...I've owned a few Pepsi 81's and the unrestored ones all had this decal, but the racks where no different than a Vendo 81.

Those were my thoughts as well. I'm going to have a few made.

The top rows were reserved for Pepsi only, It was a common demand from bottlers back then, the lower rows were for alternative flavors.

I like the idea of repopping it.

Is it the FUTURA standard. I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013.  I don't have the font in my drop down.  I did a "google" search and found some downloads available so that may work.
