I want this sign!!

Ok so i found a pic of the sign i want on my machine...and i found a machine for sale on Ebay with what appears to me to be the same sign??
This for
for this

are these the same signs? Know anywhere else i can find it other then buying a whole machine just for a sign and light??

Is it ok to replace an original sign with a sign from a different model...i.e Vendo V165-B sign for Vendo V165-A Sign?  I know its not original but is it such a big difference that it'll decrease from its value?
My original sign:

The one i want to replace it with:

Changing the sign will only help.. Lightup signs are generally worth a few bux more...

It may even double the value

I agree, on resale, a lightup will always outsell a plain-jane, besides I luv seeing the signs all lit up! I might have one of the style star signs for a Cavalier 165/dual chute, I'll check, it may be the same size, as Vendo & Cavalier both used the same source for supplying the Style-star signs.

have you got the openings inside measurments?

Light up signs look so much cooler ! I hope it fits and works for you.. (and we expect pics when it does !)

the sign i have Measures 29 3/4" x 8 3/4"....the opening looked to be 30"x9"
If you had that sign that would be amazing! i musted have asked in EVERY soda vending Forum i could find...i'll pay you top dollar...and send you the tin sign i have in return!(If you want it)

I'll check my parts stash & see if it measures up!

JohnieG,
You're making me feel like I really do have a goldmine in these machines - maybe I'll put my Vendo 80 up for auction with an $6000 opening bid with reserve.
