Sent a question and asked about the paint color: Dear jenna342005, Nice looking restoration job! I have a question about the paint color that you used. I have seen the 7-Up machines in all white or 7-Up green and white. The color on your machine appears to be turquoise or is it the lighting in the pictures. Thanks! - mznb1u Reply: Dear mznb1u, HI, it is a lite green, very close to turquoise. I seen one at Barret Jackson is Scottsdale painted this color and liked it very much. Thanks. jack christensen - jenna342005 Tim

The "small door large door mech" may be correct but I have seen them mainly on Vendo 81 and 44 models. I have seen several 7up 81's and have owned a few, (I only have one right now) but they all had the regular large coin mech.

"Correct" may not be the right word choice. It works without modification to the mech or machine though. I believe some of the SD/LD mechs may have replaced the conventional LD mechs in the 60's because of their ability to be set for 15¢ or 20¢ vend.

I have actually seen more sm/ld mechs on VMC's than anything else. and most of the VMC transitional machines that were made just a year later were the conversion mechs.

Again, most of these SD/LD mechs can easily be set for 15¢ or 20¢ vend. The common LD mechs have a price set limit of 12¢.

That makes a lot of sense. I had wondered if they maybe had a lot of old small door mechs left over or something. The price reason makes more sense.

4.5 hours to go - - the bid is at $5,000 and the reserve is not met. Three bidders since it got above $2,500. Will be interesting to see where the reserve is! Tim

Tim it still has a buy it not for 5995... so I'm gussing reserve is 5500 or so I think that is the buy it now she had on it last time it was listed, when it was being restored.. still not a bad deal for someone looking for one.. just repaint it and maybe redo some of the plating that was missed and you have a nice original 7up 81.
