All (specifically those in the Florida area, like Josh),

Here is a 7-Up VMC 33.  It appears complete, but it does have a lot of surface rust.  The current bid is $500 with no reserve.  I haven't seen a lot of 7-Up stuff, so I thought this was cool.  The Walters book lists this for $2150 in average shape.

I like the looks of it! and even with the surface rusting, the interior looks pretty clean, as does the coinmech area, I see in the ID tag picture a 7up bottlers tag on the chassis that's stamped "1987", which seems to indicate that it was at least inventoried as late as that year? hmmm, I doubt it was still in service, being a 10-cent machine, but other than that, it seems fairly straight, and complete, where the 7up VMCs embossed across the bottom?

I wish I could I just don't have the $$$. It is close to me so I would be willing to get it to forward air for someone. When I say close it is about an hour and a half away.

Terry,
I will tell you what. I want the machine but I really don't need to be spending that kind of cash right now. If you want the machine you go ahead and bid. I hope you win it.
