Title: Just picked this up
Post by: Jonathan816 on September 13, 2015, 03:04:01 pm
Just got my first VMC-81 Generic, it is missing the coin mech, but that I can find much easier than another 81 -  Haven't decided what I'm going to do with it.

Great buy! Nice Pepsi as well. Mechs are a lot easier to find then a VMC bezel.

Very nice! Question. A Pepsi and a generic 81, assuming both machines are working, complete, and nice originals, which would bring in more money? My vote would be the generic. A few years ago I would have said Pepsi but I think the generic has passed it by. I find that surprising.
