Greatest Soda find... was a Vendo 81 and a Cav 72 for $75 each 11 years ago... time flies.
Then my favorite is probably my Nichol Kola Quikold junior... my first Quikold cooler... restored
and favorite and rarest piece in my collection.

+1 on SMC has saved many hours of time and just a great place.
Here is a RT V-56 I picked up for $75. Missing compressor and rack/shelves.

Two best finds of mine would have to be:
1. Heintz C2P
and
2. Stoner Jr. with Gum Wheel
Found them both through CL which proves that there are still machines out there. I think I paid $400 for each of them. Sold the Heintz for a nice profit and am keeping the Jr because it is my machine that rates the highest with the War Department!

Let see I would say this pair for $100.00 the Coca Cola And Dr Pepper ( 7Up at the time) Sold the Coca Cola
that night and got made a profit and then restored The Dr pepper and sold that.
I just saw the Coca Cola Machine (Cav 64) last week and to be honest I wish I never sold it to this person
He has it setting out on his deck in all the bad weather and it is looking kinda bad.

I've been lucky to find some great deals..
Vendo 81's for under 500 is always a great deal
Got a Wayne 60 Gas pumps for $25.00 from an old farmer once
Coke Cleveland Neon Clock with Marquee for $200.00 was a good score
several more.. hope they keep on coming!

Mine...An Ideal 55 Orange Crush working, with coin mech, minus the rack for $74.00.I guess at the time I'd call it my "screaming deal". I know some of you here know what I'm talking about.
