So here’s the deal…I’ve been intrigued with these machines for about 3 years now.  Here’s the story…I’ve wanted a PEPSI VMC 81 and had been searching for one to restore.  I was at a yard sale and the owner of the house had a Pepsi machine in the garage, too bad it wasn’t for sale.  So after looking high and low I started to give up (I found one painted red and too much money) and then I found a Vendo 56 on ebay that didn’t sell.  I made an offer to the seller and got it.  I figured if I could restore it, I would then sell it and try for a restored Pepsi machine.  I went to a giant flea market and talked with a couple who restore machines and they had a restored VMC 81 for sale.  I couldn’t believe it.  At first I was going to trade the one machine in and cash for the Pepsi but then I found a Vendo 81 on ebay and made a deal with the seller.  So now I had 2 coke machines that I didn’t really want and a known Pepsi machine I did want.  Well long story short I was able to trade both for the Pepsi machine.

So two unrestored V56's for the restored VMC81 you always wanted...  Sounds like the stars were aligned. Congrats ':cool:'

What's your next machine going to be?
