I found a cavalier c-51 today with missing parts on the coin mech cover and the ammo belt was missing too. I couldn’t tell if the compressor was intact or working but the lady who owned the antique store said she will have it moved to a location in a few days so I can check it out. Only one dent from what I could see and it had surface rust.  Asking price is 425.00 which I feel is high.  Is it possible to buy a new ammo belt?  I think I need to keep looking for another machine

I think the price is high since it's missing major components!  The "ammo belts" pop up on greed-bay from time to time but are also expensive in some cases.

The ammo belt will run you at least 400.00.

I told the owner that the belt would cost as much as the machine.  Do you think 150 would be a good price? Ammo belts are not reproduced are they?   I am just looking for the right round top to restore. I already passed on the vendo 110 so I will keep looking

The ammo belts aren't repro'ed and when they do appear on Ebay,  bidding is like feeding time in the Kalahari.

Patience  young padawan, there are machines out there,

I've owned two C-51's - both complete.
I wish I'd kept the 2nd one as it had a chrome trim between the red/white (similar to a 44 trim).
I've only seen one other like it.
I paid $550 max for both of mine.

I just picked this machine up yesterday. Bought it
on E-bay for $1050.00.  

      The right machine will come your way but you may
want to change your name slightly before then  '<img'>

What a deal Glen, I wish a B model would show up around here. Tom I too had a C51 with the thin 44 like trim. I actually bought a coin door off of you fro ebay I think it was painted green. Heres a piture of it It was gutted bt I still kinda regret getting rid of it.
