I beleive it is a Vendorlator 81 square top. The only problem is that it has nothing inside it. No racks or bottle mech.

I think the seller read the ID Plate wrong:

This 7-Up machine is a model VFB1R-5A

It probably should read: VF81R-5A
It's also an early version. It's difficult to say if the lettering is embossed... I'm not educated enough on the later models to know which manufacturers embossed what models and when...
It would be nice if it was embossed though... Especially, if you could get it for the opening bid!

They added a few more images....pretty clean inside... Would think it would be early 1960s
I had a little square top embossed along the bottom... Had the same coin door
The way the light hits it.... it looks embossed... Probably
right in the beginning of the round tops going out and the square tops coming in.

It says in the questions section that it is embossed. The only problem would be getting a rack and shelves from an 81.
