There is no such thing as a reproduction 81b.... unless you mean one that had it's door changed prior to a resto?

Or did you mean restored?   which in that case, pretty easy to see the difference.

The only machine that was attempted to be reproduced was the Vendo 44 ,and it's a poor reproduction with a plastic body and electronic vending mechanism..

They charged $5000 for a repro, and the body is plastic? The unmitigated gall!
