Just thought I'd share some photos of the 81a I got off Ebay... I thought it was only a few hours drive which turned out to be a total of 4 to get it, but oh well... I wanted an 81a.
I know they where all originally red, but did that include the bottle stack face plate as well, or was it white originally?
I think the 100% red look is pretty good?
This machine has a second coat of red applied over the original red, but as you can see by the plate, the 2nd coat of red is oversprayed on what looks like an original White bottle stack face. OH and the white bottle door has to go, it's painted white over red.
Either way it all gets stripped and redone... Thanks for looking.
