Interesting how the machine is white with blue lettering.... looks to be original as well.

Looks VERY heavy. Is it a VMC? I would have thought it could hold way more than 64 bottles.

Sorry, doesn't look embossed to me, I own a V56 of this model line & they either had light-up signs or painted steel signs,  never embossed panels ( where the sign went on the front)   :oops:

I dunno Johnie.... the BARQS in some areas (like the apostophy. or the swirl in the B looks 3 dimensional, where as the decals on the top and bottom have no dimension to it.  Not saying that it is, as I've never seen one in person, but the pictures tend to make me think it is.

Maybe...But I've own many different sizes of this model & I've never seen an embossed panel, guess you'd have to contact the owner to confirm or deny... ( It's an unpopular model regardless, quite the Monster of a machine, incomplete & in poor shape too...Oh I just saw a Nice 7up VMC VF110 in Michigan, thats clean...

I though his was a true VMC VF81 transitional, not a VMC VF110 like this one

here is the Barqs 81 I had.. sold it at Chicago to none other than Jack Redbeck (SP?).. I'm sure it's chopped up by now and living life or at least part of it in a RT 81 body.
it was embossed but only the BARQS, the Drink and it's good where screened on .
