Title: Dr pepper transition machine Post by: Lincoln22 on March 05, 2015, 09:13:19 am I'm looking to buy an original Dr pepper square top vendo 81 or 56. It's like the vmc 81, only has square corners. It has the glass bottle door and big coin mech like a roundtop. I'm in Moline, IL. Thank you

All other transitional machines were non embossed.
Is it your intention to find a 56 /81 transitional to turn it into a Dr Pepper? Title: Re: Dr pepper transition machine Post by: Lincoln22 on March 05, 2015, 01:34:55 pm Yes! Or I'd love a barqs

Title: Re: Dr pepper transition machine Post by: BONOVOX on March 05, 2015, 10:10:23 pm Looks like the top water tank of a toilet bowl of the 20's
I guess rare in this case means big $$$ Title: Re: Dr pepper transition machine Post by: sc1101 on March 05, 2015, 10:36:02 pm No. Trying to stick to Coca Cola and Pepsi only. I'll need an addition on my house if I start collecting Dr. Pepper. I must admit I feel Dr. Pepper collecting is in my future though. It does kinda look like a toilet bowl tank top. :laugh:
