Title: Vmc 81 pepsi
Post by: coke_and_stuff on May 04, 2006, 06:38:32 pm
I've been thinking it over and I may trade off the ole VMC 81 Pepsi. Im defiantly a coke guy and honestly dont really even like Pepsi. The machine itself is in execellent condition for being unrestored. If I dont trade it its not going on ebay and will stay in the collection. Simple as that. What Ive done to it is cleaned it, new wiring harness, new fan motors, new thermostat, new main door liner, and new bottle door and main door seals. Machine is complete has the original coin and cap boxes, The only thing I can see missing is the condensor tray. machine cools down perfectly and is on and working now. The last one on ebay didnt have anything done to it and was bid up to $3,750 with a few days left before bids were cancelled and the auction was ended.

What interests me
Westinghouse JR
Glascock JR
Vendo 81A
Vendo 81B
Vendo 44
Coca Cola signs
Gas and oil signs
$$$$
etc you get the idea

Am I crazy for trading off a killer machine nope I just simply dont keep things that long, Im alot like Josh here on the site just simply a horse trader.

I just want to say thanks to Joey for a great machine... I hauled a lot of stuff to him for this swap
(which my wife says thanks to you for) A great machine and great to see Joey again! Wish there was
another place (Missouri or central U.S. :) ) where there would be another Coin-Op swap meet! Other than just Chicago one in the Spring and one in the late fall is just too long to wait between those shows.

Anyway Joey... Great machine will keep you and everyone else up to date when I start the restoration! This is a KEEPER!
I get a Quikold and I think I'm done (wife hopes)....

That Pepsi is “THE machine” in my collection!!!!! I think I'm really done as far as
RT tops go now (that said in case the wife sees this :) )... just to get one of
those Quikold standards! There's gotta be one out there!
I want to focus on restoring all these now.

VERY Happy with the deal!

This is the one that got away last year on eBay...
Seller wouldn't ship, pallet NOTHING! And didn't know at
the time I could have had a moving company pick it up...

Just a dry box from the 40s 50s looking for one in either Pepsi or 7up... They're nothing fancing just hard to find... this one went for $250.00 would have gone a little higher I think if he'd
at least of stuck it on a pallet.
