A litle over restored for my liking but the price looks good.

It would be a huge road trip through lots of countries.

Translation is fun (Google).

To the auction one of the usually most looked for automats comes, of the:         Pepsi Cola automat Vendo 81          Production date between 1955 and 1959     Manufacturer: Vendo company in Kansas town center, Missouri    The Vendo can be filled with 81 bottles of 0.2 or 0.3 litres, an additional precooling is possible for 17 bottles         Dimensions: Height: ca.147 cm, width: approx. 68 cm, depth: approx. 40 cm    Weight: approx. 130 kg         The automat was professional-moderately restored years ago by a US firm and again painted - absolutely Top! A functional transformer 230 V on 110 V participates!    Meanwhile some small scratches and damages of lacquer are present, which are however hardly noticeable or disturb - see photos.    The automat can be equipped with 9 different bottle sorts and has a functioning interior lighting. The ideal temperature of approx. 3-5 degrees is reached within only 20 minutes. At present the automat is to free enterprise is adjusted, i.e. always after the expenditure lever once pressed can one a bottle take.    The following documents are provided:  Operating instructions, maintenance documentations, technical information, wiring diagram.    The Höchstbieter keeps a colored painted Pepsi Cola trash can free in addition, sees photo. (Ex-factory price 250 euro)         To the comparison see an auction from the USA where at present equivalent equipment one offers. As search word the article number: 150041497313 enter.    This concerns a new restoration Pepsi of a Cola Vendo 81 automats, price 8,750 US$         Pepsi Cola automat is substantially more rarely than the Coca Cola automat and at this price surely no longer too ersteigern!         Inspection and fetching place is distant for 20 minutes in Strasshof, from Vienna.    Dispatch only by means of forwarding business possible, forwarding expenses for this please inquire.    Regarding dispatch a packing lump sum is charged by 50 euro.    Private sales, due to the age understandably without warranty and without guarantee.      More rarely than a Pez automat or a Indiana Jones Flipper!

Not a bad deal seems like Pepsi 81s are like money in the bank.

The chap is looking into the cost of having it shipped for me. If its reasonable I might just throw in a bid. I don't really fancy an invasion of Europe to go and pick it up.

You are all right about the decals.
