1950s VMC 81D Vendorlator Pepsi Cola Machine Older Restoration

Description: The VMC-81 was a machine introduced and produced in their first years for Pepsi – they were produced for only 3 years. The Pepsi version is rare and often difficult to find. The exact model is VMC-H81D. Still, the company produced VMC-81 for different brands, including one without embossing for smaller, more local drink brands.This upright machine was among the first to feature a slant-shelf vending mechanism, which allowed it to vend up to 12 oz bottles. They were also multiple-selection machines – the VMC-H81D allowed for 9 different drinks.It also has a highly sought-after glass bottle door with a light-up mechanism.The machine originally came with a coin mechanism that could accept 5 or 10-cent coins. Later machines featured a coin mechanism that could accept quarters and give change in nickels, which made the coin door larger.This is a mechanically operated machine. Once you inserted a coin, you had to crank the chrome handle, open the bottle door, and make your selection.The VMC H81D was the predecessor of the highly-popular Vendo 81. If you happen to run into this historic piece, you might not notice its immense value. A properly-dated VMC-H81D is highly worth the investment.After Vendo acquired VMC, the VMC-81 kept being produced under the Vendo 81 name, and in later years it was updated to a more modern square-top model.Some quick facts:Vends 81 Bottles6.5 oz to 12 oz bottlesPre Cools 17Size 58′ high, 27′ wide, and 16′ deepVends 9 different selectionsWeight 280 lbsThis machine is from 1955-57 EraHere is your chance to own a rare, beautiful piece of history. The values continue to climb as there are fewer of this machines out in the wild. Unrestored machines range from $3,500-$5,500. While this is an older restoration. The fresh restorations start around 20k.Priced to move and willing to listen to respectful offers.It is in good shape, it does have a few blemishes, but hey! That allows you not to be paranoid about it. This machine was professionally restored by Back In Time Warehouse in West Virginia. It resided most of its restored life in the Atlanta suburbs by an avid collector.I have had it for a few years now, and my interests are changing. It's time to find it a new home. It works, runs, and cools just as it should.I can assist with the shipper of your choice. Please let me know if you need anything. Happy shopping!
