I restored Slider Bob's Pepsi 81 over this past summer and fall. Finally got it all finished up and delivered Friday.
Bob's basement is looking good, he has lots of very nice machines.

Very nice work!

Bob, you look like a kid on Christmas!
Looking forward to seeing the machine in person in a few weeks!

Thanks to Shane, my best Christmas present ever!

The pictures just don't do it justice...Absolutely perfect in every way!

Thanks also go out to Tom (Collecture) for the coin mech restoration, and to Joey (Coke_and_Stuff) for the restored VMC bezel.  Awesome!

Thanks again. I love it!

Here is a before pic of it when I got it.  Thanks to Leonard (Ltransam) for finding it in Altoona, PA, and to Jim Holmgren for bringing it to me in Michigan.

Missing the coin door and coin mech, it did have a Slider cap catcher in its place that is outlined in a different color (how appropriate being Slider-Bob) that I removed.

Definitely pulled in a few favors from SMC members to make this possible!!! Thanks everybody!!!

Very nice. I wish California had basements. We have to use our garages. Nice machine!
