Looks like a spray bomb paint job. What a joke

I think that is reflections. To me it looks more like a awful case of poor photography. The inside pic  is dark as can be, but you can still tell that it is original & untouched (seller states so as well). Seems really high priced for an older "paint" job.

Pics 5 & 7 - lots of overspray...inside main door at bottom - different red....lots of rust....bulbs and parts missing...on and on....no where near "Nicely painted"...which in this market one would hope inside and out.....even in extremely excellent ORIGINAL condition, $2995 would be a very hard sell for a single flavor machine - even though I won't part with mine

If you look in the second picture the side of the machine you can see what look like dents but I think they are lines in the paint from a spray can nozel. I did a USS-64 for a customer in December and they wanted it spray bombed and it had the same look to it. I bet almost anything that the red has been painted with a spray bomb. The seller must have changed the description as it now says that it has an older paint job. Someone probably called him out on it and he changed it.

In that second photo, it sure looks like the Have a Coke decal is angled upwards pretty bad, look that way to anyone else?
