Title: Pepsi Cola VMC 81 For Sale
Post by: Lincoln22 on March 10, 2015, 05:51:54 pm
This is a complete, working, original Pepsi Cola Vendolator 81 machine I currently have displayed inside my home.  I can send more pictures of any part of it you would like to see closer if you pm, text, email, or call me.  The machine is exceptionally straight, clean, and presentable in appearance!  I am no expert, but it's possible, due to the exceptional appearance of this machine that it was in fact re-painted in its life at one point (I understand some bottlers came around and did this back in the day, but I can tell with the vintage non-glossy appearance and original green Illinois tax revenue stamp on the machine, the painting would have been done many years ago IF it was.  This 81 presents remarkably and is exceptionally clean inside too!  Finding a scratch or ding in this is hard to do.  I would be happy to answer any questions serious buyers may have.  I would also consider a trade/cash deal if you had the right machine or cooler.  Also, I can deliver this to the Chicago Coin Op show coming up in April at no charge if purchased for the $4500.

That's a great looking machine Brian - if I were in the market I would strongly consider it.  Good luck!

Thank you Jim...not crazy about selling, but I've bought a lot recently and just a had a little wee one born a month ago!  Love it though, it's truly one of the highlights in my collection right now in my home!

Please post the photo of the compressor section, this may provide important information to a potential buyer when trying to determine if it is original vs a repaint.

You may want to post in your post that you don't want to ship although you do allude to it by offering to take to Chicago show for no charge.

It was a good speaking with you earlier.  Its a nice machine good luck with your sale.
