This machine is extremely straight with absolutely no beltline rust as most 81's
have on the lower back area. In fact, no rust-thru at all despite the massive surface rust.
The coin door and bezel are bent and I am willing to bet that was a result of a fall during the 1994 Northridge earthquake just because of the location this machine was found.
A thorough examination reveals that this 81 had very few hours usage in it's prior
life and was probably a nice original before it was set outside in the hot sun.
Even though Cameron is new to this hobby, he very wisely brought this machine home and then got it out of the house before his wife returned from her vacation.
And for those who can't see the pic's on page 1, I will post a few for members and the
last pic is for Cameron who didn't see the little birds nest in his cap catcher.
Again I echo the rest of the group.........NICE FIND!
