I don't believe the Vernors where embossed, nice looking though...
I would have kept my Barqs, but again realized.. where am I going to keep all these machines, time to thin the heard...I have a 7up VMC 81 so figured that one I'll keep.

I have a embossed 7up transitional machine.  I found it odd though that the embossed logo is covered with a 7up sticker.  The embossed is the Red, white, and green with bubbles style.  The sticker is all red with white.  Electric vend if that helps...

What parts on the transitional machines will fit a vendo 81D? I know the coin door will work but what about the coin changer, bottle rack and such? I have a couple of machines that need some bottle shelves and small parts. Might be cheaper to pick up one of these machines for parts. Just curious.

Almost all of the parts for the transitional machine are interchangeable. The bottle door is the same as the VMC 81 and will fit the Vendo but it does not have the hole for the medallion but it can be cut out. The stack is the same and so are the shelves. The coin mech is the same as is the sold out flag and linkage. The cooling system line is on the opposite side as the RT, the light bar is the same on some and for some reason some do not fit. Other than that they are the same. Just so you know i attached a picture of another type of transitional machine that the parts are the same as The RT. This type square top 81 generally can be bought rather cheap.

one part that is not interchangeable though is the light bar from a square top 81 to a round top.. it's Deeper.. as the main doors are deeper on Square top 81's than the round top 81's.. just and FYI

Also the sold out flag IS different and will not work on a roundtop machine.
