red pepsi 81

[collecture]

Don't have the machine anymore, but the paint scheme is fairly common I believe.

figured out why it was red.  That was when they hired the color blind painter.

That red on the squaretop looks pretty orangy.  Then they used light blue.  I've seen roundtops repainted light blue and white 2 tone.  That was probably done in the 60's to give the machine a new look.  Off topic, but for Creighton, here's a pic of a couple of my favorite amps that I have.  A 63' Fender Tremolux and a 65' or so Supro Thunderbolt.  I've got a 69' and 70' Marshall basketweave bottom cab with original pre-rola speakers, one 30w and one 25w.  Should have kept my 73' 100w plexi head!

Somewhere there are a couple of old guys who used to work for Vendo/VMC in the Paint Department Laughing.. Saying..
"Hey Earl, remember that time we got drunk while on the job and started painted those Pepsi coolers a different color as a joke to piss off the boss"...
"yeah Hank, I remember.. Glad we didn't get fired" but was sure funny"

"yeah Earl, those were the good ol days"

"but Gee Hank, I sure hope that now in the year 2013 when these machines are so rare and people are paying 6,000-7,000 restored for them, they don't get confused and think it was some huge plot to overthrow the competitor"...
