We'll after not buying much in Chicago, I finalized my deal on my other purchase that I posted about earlier.... the Garage full of 81's and others...
I picked up the first load the other day and here are the photos of the Storage Barn filled with machines..
It contains 10 Complete V81's all A's and B's, 4 more parts 81's, 2 V39's (early ones), 2 Sliders with Racks/Coin Mechs, 2 VMC 27's on Pipe Stands, 1 parts VMC Pepsi 27, Parts, Parts and Parts, havne't had a chance to go through them all yet, but Bottle Doors, Shelves, Bottle Stacks, etc..., Extra Compressors, Compressor parts, Coin Mechs,etc... Boxes of stuff... that I have yet to ID...
I will be taking a full inventory of stuff when I get it all home as I only have one load home now... rest this week.
Please don't ask what I got yet as I don't know... but I will be selling parts I don't need... but give me a month or so to go through it and find out what I need.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it... I plan on restoring most of it... but we'll see....
enjoy the photos... more to come when I get it all home and organized a bit.
thanks for letting me share.

WOW!

Congrats    I think it will take a couple of months to sort through - what a load.  Looks like fun..

Double WOW.  your wife will be so proud of you.  I guess you told her you would never have to buy another machine again. :tounge:

I'm wiping the drool of my keyboard.....

Way to go!
Please keep the pics coming and let us know if we can help!  :jawdrop:

How big of a diamond ring did you have to buy your wife so she would let you bring this stuff home?

A modern day treasure trove!! I missed the original post on this (how?). I think you just cornered the market on 81's. :glare:

This should keep you busy for a long time.

I'd be very interested in the details once the dust settles 8)

Aie Karumba! , quite the find! congrats!  :wow:

That's quite the mother load! congrats!

Awesome purchase John ! ! !

This will definitely keep you busy for a while...
As things get sorted out, keep us abreast of what becomes available for sale before going to the outside world...
Personally, I'll be digging into my V-81B that may require coin mech parts...

I'm glad you where able to close the deal on this purchase ! ! !

Jim - I may be able to help you here.
Let me know what you need!

      Thanks for those pictures, Kito would roll over in his grave
seeing compressors and cabinets on top of 81's.  :biggrin:

      Hope you will give us a group shot when you get these all to
one place, it will be a picture for the record book.  :happydrinkers:

     I just met Markito a month or so ago... he is still very well ALIVE.. :biggrin:
But yes He would have not liked this,,, obviously almost everything will need to be restored... there are a few machines with nice original paint that may just a facelift, and general inside makeover and redo and see if  I can save the paint... we'll see.

I'll have more photos as I get it all home and to my new storage... Photos of that coming soon!!

Nice score!!

Wow What a score John   I must have missed the first post  but I'm sure glad I did
nut miss this Great score .

Congrat again  keep us posted  .

  If there is an extra pipe stand, please keep me in mind.

WOW.
