This was on Ebay kind of close to me.  I bid on it, did not meet reserve and the guy contacted me and said I could get it for my high bid.  I went and got it yesterday and took this pic last night.




This is more like the find of the year for me!

Thanks for the compliments guys.  My wife had a fit about me getting it so unless something else falls into my lap this is it for a while.  As far as I am concerned between the Milk Machine, Pepsi 81 and a Coke 81 I don't feel I need much else.    
It's not super straight, but between the other stuff I picked up recently it should not need very much.  The cabinet has a few dings but nothing major.

Thanks again guys

Since we are on the topic of this machine (and I need more posts to become a jerk)  

What paint scheme would you use on the machine?  Single color or two tone?  I am leaning for the two tone but want other opinions.

Marvin Great Score!... Tell your wife you got a deal cause...well... you did Hey!!!!.It's a embossed
PEPSI 81 brother!!!!!
As far as color schemes.... it's whatever YOU like...
me...  I traded Joey some stuff for the one he had
and I'm going all blue like it originally came with a
red 10 cent decal that goes above the coin bezel then the large Yellow square decals for the sides...
Two tones are nice but I have a 72 all white door
and a all red Vendo 39 so a all blue is gonna look killer!
Red, white and blue!! All in a row.
Here are some images of what mine looks like now
and the color scheme.
