So here’s the deal…I’ve been intrigued with these machines for about 3 years now. Here’s the story…I’ve wanted a PEPSI VMC 81 and had been searching for one to restore. I was at a yard sale and the owner of the house had a Pepsi machine in the garage, too bad it wasn’t for sale. So after looking high and low I started to give up (I found one painted red and too much money) and then I found a Vendo 56 on ebay that didn’t sell. I made an offer to the seller and got it. I figured if I could restore it, I would then sell it and try for a restored Pepsi machine. I went to a giant flea market and talked with a couple who restore machines and they had a restored VMC 81 for sale. I couldn’t believe it. At first I was going to trade the one machine in and cash for the Pepsi but then I found a Vendo 81 on ebay and made a deal with the seller. So now I had 2 coke machines that I didn’t really want and a known Pepsi machine I did want. Well long story short I was able to trade both for the Pepsi machine.

Hmm, I know earlier this year the board maxed out on storage space until Jim made some adjustments. I can post a pic, so that must not be the problem. Are you copying the pics from your hard drive or a camera/memory stick? If it's not from the hard drive you may want to try copying it there and then try uploading again.
