Ive been looking for an 81 just "close" to where I live and I haven't found on in about 17 months!
Nice finds!

Just curious, did you find them or did they find you? I know it helps to have a local reputation for working on machines. That's why I am curious if someone sought you out to see if you wanted to buy them or if your hunted them up and contacted the owner on your own. I've been searching for a decent 81 or a 56 with squat for luck. Did manage to pick up a 1920s barber pole which actually turned out to look quite nice. I am hoping to possibly trade it towards a coke machine if I find a collector and the right opportunity. Congratulations on your finds - save a scrap for the rest of us!

They all found me, Ive been lucky enough to be able to have a great network of people who know what I buy as with other buyers and are constantly on the lookout. Im also lucky to have a group of great buyers who pay fair money for the machines that I buy.
Im very picky on what I buy. and only buy about 5 models. In other words I buy what sells.
