Title: Looking to buy and or trade for an original blue pepsi 81 backing plate Post by: Jonathan816 on December 11, 2015, 02:37:12 pm I'm hoping there is someone who has an extra 1 or 2 (figuring more I have closer I can get to the color of my door).
I have bezels I can trade and pay shipping both ways, or I can buy outright. I'd love to keep my machine as close to a nice original as possible. Thanks for looking and happy holidays.

Jonathan and I already talked about this, and the two Pepsi 81's I acquired, one is a repaint, the other has a silver backing plate..
we where hoping it would work for him,, but unfortunately did not.

I have an original Pepsi 81 I can look at....

Title: Re: Looking to buy and or trade for an original blue pepsi 81 backing plate Post by: Slapshot42 on December 27, 2015, 12:57:34 am I would just paint one and install it. Once you install the crank handle and shut the coin door you will hardly notice it.
I have an original Coca Cola 81 / D that was missing the back plate I had it powder coated and don't even notice it!

I've painted a bunch of them and they look fine. Not a part that is noticed much unless they're total the wrong color. i.e. red in a blue machine. Lol.
