No joke, I know someone looking for the drum and linkage. Since they "aren't worth anything" pm me with your extremely low price!

Hey, some people like what they like... I think it's pretty funny with the timing of trying to help someone out with 83 parts after the brutal newbie destruction recently! I'm expecting PM's to tell me they have one, but they are 300 plus for just the drum!

Yeah! Guilty as charged!   blush      I do rip on the V83 a lot...not so much for the machine itself, just what it's perceived value is often quoted being closer to that of a V81...  This is not an investment machine, but fun never the less.


It is at its best, a base value starter machine, there is nothing really special about. but I suppose it's better than a square top insofar as it's a round top embossed machine. Hey I even owned one once & but then I got therapy... I'm more of a multi-flavor vendor guy.   Any machine you like is the one for you..enjoy!  drinking

I knew where there were 2 V-83 honeycombs sitting in a barn.  I know they were cleaning it out, but I'll see if they are still there.

There's a guy in Osage Beach Mo that has a bunch of these machines (in pretty rough shape) for sale.  Might check with him..

The guy in the ozarks add is who ended up with the 83s I knew about.  The machine cabinets are toast, but as I recall one of the honeycombs was actually in decent shape.  Would be worth a call if you are still looking.
