Beautiful Survivor 81D on eBay!
"Unrestored Vintage Coke Coca-Cola Vendo 81 D Machine Excellent Original"
Wowza, has anyone ever seen an 81D survivor as nice as the one up for grabs on eBay right now?!?
It is absolutely pristine, what a great peice!
Does anyone have any unrestored treasures they would like to post photos of?
I'd love to see what is still circulating in original condition out there...?
Thanks!
 Please post photos!

There is red overspray on the compressor, bolts, etc.

Doubt it's all original...even the inside silver finish is too nice.

I agree with Bob.
Red overspray on the bottom tells me that it is NOT original.  As well, the insides are WAY too clean and silver paint looking to be original.  I want to believe, but I find it too hard to.

It's still a very nice solid straight machine, and without looking at it in person, maybe just the bottom was repainted?  I dunno.... either way a nice machine but I don't think it is truly an original untouched machine.

Completely agree! I've never seen an original with overspray.

Well.... it "sold" for 3000. 
Although maybe it's just me, but I am always sceptical when the opening bidder is also the winner of an auction when there are multiple bids.  Could this be a case of upbidding?  I dunno.... with the overspray on a machine listed as all original, maybe I'm overthinking things like the first and last bidders lol.

What's your thoughts?

I think someone should try to score this one. It has a nice shine. Maybe you can work out a better deal since it's missing some stuff.

It does look like a mirror. If it's listed on the internet as original though it has to be true.  biggrin
