       I had that bookmarked too but shipping problems stopped me
from bidding. I had 4 V-81b's but Coca Cola placed an order for 2
of them. I finished one and was halfway through the second when
this 81D was about to end on E-bay and no bidders. Well, I already
had a customer for a restored 81 for $6000.00 so I placed a bid 'cause
it was within my 100 mile radius.

      Had to do some cosmetics inside and have a few touch-ups
left to do outside but I could not have bought an 81, shipped it
and restored it for this $2500.

Nice Glen - way to go! I love those small door mechs in a large door machine.
It is so nice to turn a screw and have it on free-vend!

I find that shipping usally gets in the way of a good deal.
