WTB USS 64 or V56-7 around VA

[Pinballnut]

Looking for a uss 64  or 56-7 in Va area.  Doesn't have to be a coke or pepsi.  Prefer a can stack if it's a 56-7 but will take a bottle stack.

Where in VA?  There's a few members right outside DC, I can keep my eyes open for you...for a while there was a nice USS-64 Pepsi down in the Lake Anna region

I'm in Lynchburg but I'm willing to travel.

Here's the one that was down around Lake Anna, been up for sale for a long time now, maybe you could throw them a low-ball offer

Says early 50's. lol

Thanks tkaz....  I called him, after talking for a bit he said he paid 1,700 for it and can't figure out why nobody's buying it for 700?  I've got the feeling his feelings would be hurt/insulted if I offered what it's worth.

Hey Pinballnut! Welcome to the board. Good to see someone else from VA!
Wow. $1700? So did you talk price at all? That looks nice, but as you mentioned, not $700 nice. You could still make an offer. Couldn't hurt.

I would let him know that his machine is from the 70's and not the early 50's. Probably why he thinks it is worth $1700. Whoever sold it to him probably took him, but hey sometimes the truth hurts.  He will never sell it at $1700.

Thanks halehouse........   I told him it was a 70's machine. His reply " I must have put the wrong year down in the ad".   I'm headed to NC this weekend to pick up one machine, told him I'd give him a call on Sun. to set up a time to see it.    Only others I ran across was a laCrosse Pepsi in roanoke area..  He wanted $500 for it. Problem is the lack of parts and schematics out there for them if something goes kaput....Guess my area's full of pawn star price machines...LOL
