I got an email from a guy with this machine. he says the tag says Vendo 81.. its' a mexican Machine with the embossing "Tome" rather than drink.. it is a 9 selection machine but has different look to it, almost like a Cav 72 or V56 cabinet, but a coin door from an 80 or something like that, it's electric,, also look at the vent holes in the main cabinet?
I just thought it strange enough to share!..

Almost looks like it was originally two-tone....the chrome trim has been painted and the white lettering looks like it was hand painted

The rounded corners are more similar to a V-56 than the V-81. Are you sure it is a 9-pull?
Are you going to buy it? Looks like a cool machine to add to the collection!
