Hi everyone, I just bought my first machine- a cavalier css-64. The plate on the side says 64G and a tag in the door says 64C. I wonder what this means? Anyway's I got a few questions. The coin changer is missing- the previous owner is supposed to have it but I am about to give up on getting it from her. What model do I need? From what I read it's a CoinCo unit right? The other question I have is that is water supposed to collect on the bottom of the cooler and go through that hole and into the drain pan right? There's like a valve type thing- is this supossed to have a small hole for the water to drip through?
     My next question is about using plastic soda bottles- will they work? The skinnier ones? How about those newer small plastic Coke and Sprite bottles? Do they stand a chance of getting punctured in the machine?
     Here's a little more info about my machine- it's got white sides and top with the logo "things go better with Coke" on both sides. It has trhe 3-D Stylestar with a light and a light in the vending area. The coin changer door or what ever it is called has the woodgrain only on this door. It was an indoor machine all it's life and was said to have been in a school- must have been in a teachers break room to be this nice. It had quite a build up of floor wax on the bottom couple of inches and I think this protected things pretty good! I have it running and it stay's between 36 and 38 degrees and sounds and runs good. I just wish I had the coin changer so I could play with it . Mike 

Thanks Jim . Well since my camera broke and it's in a 100 pieces on my desk( hopefully I can get it back together) I can post a link to the Craigslist listing where I bought it from with some pictures- http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/clt/467488283.html

I got my camera back together so I'll get some pictures at work today of it. Also is this the coin changer I need? COINCO SINGLE PRICE CHANGER S75-9800B.
   Thanks Jim, I leveled the machine so it would drain yesterday. Any tricks to cleaning the glass inside the doors?
     Any way of telling the exact age of a mchine like this? I wonder if those small 8 ounce plastic bottles will work? I can get Coke,Pepsi,Squirt,Sprite and Fresca in the old Mexican bottles but they cost like a $1.20 each. I am also not too far from the Coke bottler in Minnesota that refills bottles so this is an option too. Gray's brewing is just a few blocks from me but they are a $1 a bottle and their caps are blank. I do plan on using this machine inside to vend and don't want to have to put the price to $1.50 a bottle.
   

Your Cs-64G is from the late 1960's

Nice looking machine - except for the woodgrain! 
I'd think about changing that!
