81 Stash in Florida

[BeaYoung]

Here's the story... Seller is well versed in the hobby and had 100+ machines at one time. This is the end of the collection.

The 7up is actually a generic VENDO door with a Large mech and a VMC Bezel. It is not embossed. Seller says that it was a prototype and has some type of inner door inside the coin door. Hence the odd serial plate. Also because it is Vendo door, no VMC stamped embossing at the bottom. I would love to see what's behind the door liner in that one.

He's at 22k private sale for the group but if he is not able to sell the group, then he'll entertain offers. Says that he has an offer north of 4500 for the prototype and says that because Generic 81's are so rare in Florida (every there rusts because of humidity) that they sell for 3800-4000. He does not know if any of them cool. I guess that means, figure that they don't.

This is an old friend of mine for many years and has had some cool machine over the years ! ! !
He's the first person I've know to have every 81 manufactured...  I haven't been to his house in over a year & 1/2...
He's a pretty straight shooter but knows what he has...
I guess I have to stop by again and see what else he may be selling...

  Jim, you could actually help both him, and us .....quite a bit!  
  Looks like more than a few members here would consider buying from his collection of 81's
 if the deal were made outside of E-bay!
     If he is not yet a member of SMC, please bring him in..............we want to meet the man!

Did not see the end of the auction, did they sell?

[Jared]

Did not think they would sell for that
