Well...I made my bi-weekly or sometimes quad-weekly trip to the local Ace Hardware store that I have been going to for many years now.
This time I was looking to get a can of Krylon paint (in the Kiwi color), which is a pretty good match to the ol' DP green if anybody ever has a need.
Anyway...I had to get a person to unlock the paint cans and this 50's-ish woman came back. Idle chit-chat ensued and she asked what I was going to paint with it. I told her that it was a pretty good match to the DP green used on original 50's DP soda machines.
She said "Like the old soda machine around the corner"
I said "huh?"
Sure enough down the hall leading to the employee rec room was a restored V81D. She said they didn't know what to do with it after they remodelled the ERR from a 50's theme and they just stuck it there.
I asked if they wanted to sell it and she said she didn't know, but gave me the owners card with all his numbers.
We'll see?

Fingers crossed for you! What a great find that could be!
And thanks for the tip on the kiwi green paint for the DP colors! You never know when that may come in handy.

I just talked to him and asked if he wanted to sell it...he said he didn't really know what it was worth...I said I'd give him $1500 for it - maybe more once I get to see inside and all....he replied that he thought he bought it 15 years ago for $7000-$8000 at Ceasar's Palace in LV. I said I wouldn't be able to touch that amount. He said he'd call me tomorrow about it and maybe in the very least pay me to give it a once over...we'll see what happens? |

Greg,
Here is a look at what the Kiwi color looks like.
I recently moved my DP VMC110 out to my porch to replace the 81A that is now in my gameroom. I had another bottle door in good shape and wanted to get rid of the rusted out one.
I figure it is not going to harm the value much to have a decently spray-painted...but nicer door.

Hey can we have a photo of that machine
for the 2009 calander ?? Of course you can Pat! I'll get it all cleaned up and try to set up some sort of a photo shoot of it on my back porch. I can tell you that I'm not moving it again...VMC110 from garage to porch...Cav55 from shed to garage...Cav72 from porch to shed...my back hurt for two days after moving machines around. Where do I email the photo? And hope you get that 81D for $1500. I don't think that is going to happen...sounds like this guy will want close to his purchase amount, which I'm not going to pay. I'll check it out for him if he wants. |

Super cool Dr Pepper machine. I love those old 110s. I am attempting to get one of each flaver, DP, Pepsi, Seven-up, Coke, and RC, which is more affordable than trying to collect one of each of the 81 models. But they are heavy, too heavy to be moving around on a regular basis. I posted a photo of my 110.
