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.

So two unrestored V56's for the restored VMC81 you always wanted... Sounds like the stars were aligned. Congrats 
What's your next machine going to be?
