what is this model and an estimate please! This is my 1st. Machine I got it cheap, I traded a chain saw for it.  If it's not much no big deal just have alway's wanted to get into soda machine restoration. I am excited!! I have a lead on a jacobs 26 He is asking $800. No drum on the inside and nothing on front what do you all think?

here is the info on the tag.

Thank you all for any help

Its a Cavalier USS-8-64 (might be a USS-8-48, which is the Pepsi designation).  These are great machines for everyday use, they will vend just about anything and are very easy to work with.  With everything working on it, I usually think anything around $200 is a decent price for these.  I have paid a wide range for them, from $25 to $150.

A Jacob's drum will be hard to find... I'd pass.
