I'd have trouble paying 1800 for a Refridgerator that does not refridgerate... hopefully it's an easy fix like a new cord or thermostat,, but if it's truly shot your looking at 800-900 for a new unit.

I have trouble selling the a model, so I don't buy them much.... but I'm still getting b's and d's around me for 1500.  I know of an A about 2 hours from me. but it's got an A door and a D body.. so he and I are negotiating at this point..but no where near 1800

Could that be the rare C model?

C model should have large embossing and solid red. The one John looking at probably has a solid red door and a two tone cabinet with split vents.

Rod restored a C model awhile back and it turned out awesome. A model you rarely see.

The 81a  had "drink coca cola " closer to the door, later models centered the logo

I think if the refrigeration is shot, $1500 is a fair price on that machine.

Is a Vendo 81a that much more valuable than a Vendo 81B?
