google Pepsi 81 and click on images. 98% of the pics with a side picture show one column of fins. I have seen a few with two columns of fins like an 81D.
So, the questions is......................................what is the way the VMC 81 was manufactured originally?

Early run Pepsi 81 had the single large vent cabinets, later run Pepsi 81 had the split vent cabinet. Both style Cabinets are correct on the Pepsi 81
RC only came with the large Single vent cabinet
7up only came with the later split vent cabinet
Generic came with both large single and split vent cabinets
Coke 81 A only had the large single vent
Coke 81 B came with early large vent cabinets
Coke 81 C from what I have seen only came with the early large single vent cabinets
Coke 81 D only had the split vent cabinet

Yes I've had several machines over the years with incorrect cabinets, a lot has happened in the 60 years of their existence. Just like old cars some people don't care what parts are what and as long as it works they go with it. Then there are the purist who want it stock as they were new. I fall into that category and if you have a 7up 81 front main door and in need of a cabinet then split vent is the only way to go! As that's what they had when they were built.

Although I find the above information informative. In the big picture I really don't think it matters except for perhaps maybe the RC and a 7up. I have three 81's right now scattered throughout the house and I couldn't even tell you what vents they have.
