Title: V-81 bottle door lense correct color.
Post by: Creighton on February 13, 2006, 07:26:19 pm
Hi All,
Wondering what would be correct for 1957 green or clear? Reason for asking is adding glass door to a 57 V-56 and will punch the "Have a Coke" and replace with a V-81 style lens.
Thanks in advance!!

in 1957 Vendo was producing two tone machines so the B and possibly even the D were being produced. you wouldnt want to put a green medalion but the later.

Creighton,
The green medalion was used on the early versions such as 81A with the possibility of some showing up on early 81B's...

Jim's right. The 81a's had the green medalian. I just finished restoring one. The reproduction medalian says "Ice Cold".
