Title: Moondawg's 7-up
Post by: Marvin on January 22, 2006, 06:03:55 pm
I don't post much.  Guess I am going to start so I can get into the "elite" members area. :)

Anyway, the 7-Up has about 30 minutes left on it.  It has been at 4250.00 for a little while.  This is a killer rare machine, how high will it go at the last minute or will someone get a cherry 81 fro a steal?

Marvin

P.S.  I would be all over it if I had the cash.

Here's an answer to those "what's it worth" questions. Put it up for auction and see what people are willing to pay!
     An unrestored 7up 81 is worth exactly $4250.00  :p

Congrats on the sale Glen. You had a killer machine in great shape, that brought what I feel a great price for you the seller, and the buyer. I picked up the VMC 81 Pepsi today on ebay lots of high end machines have been coming out of the woodworks the last couple of months. Hopefully in the next few months a few more will come along.

The world of online auctions has spoken and 4250.00 it is.  I still think that is a little low for that caliber machine.  But thats it.

Man I NEED a Pepsi 81... That will be my goal for this new year (along with dropping about 25lbs.)

Nice score Joey... Better not be trading that off!
(But if you do give me a call :) )

Way to go!

Thanks guys, This one is a keeper, One day I would like to have all the VMC and Vendo 81s. I feel this is a good starting point.

That is a good machine (Pepsi 81.)  I had been watching it to see where it went.  I am helping a friend restore one.  It is at the painters right now.  Maybe one day I will be able to talk him out of it.

Hello Marvin,
  What machines do you currently have? ???

Hi Terry,
Right now I have a Vendolator 27A Pepsi,  It is a project machine.  I also have a restored VMC 33 that is in use.  
And I have a Vendo Milk Vendor that is in project status right now.

I also have a few gas pump projects going right now.  To many projects and not enough time.

The milk machine is not much to see right now.  The door liner is in sorry shape and I have the door at a sheet metal shop getting a liner made now.  
I had some pics of it, but between the first guy I had trying to make a liner and a computer crash, I lost them.  
I'll be sure to post pics as soon as I get the door back.

I created a gallery with some pice of my 33.  I could not seem to change the name on the album though.  Here is a link if you want to look.

Josh,
I still want the manuals.  Other projects and work have gotten in the way of soda machine time right now.  I'll get with you in the next week or so and get squared away.  I think I might have a piece or 2 you may be interested in yourself.

Sounds good to me. Take your time. The manuals aren't going anywhere.
