I'm a sucker for anything DP, but this looks like junk.  Just curious if it's even worth calling about.

I love DP, but I'd pass. I think you can get the same machine if you wait in much better condition for the same price. If you really want that, I wouldn't go any higher then $50.

It's a Cavalier USS-64, missing what looks like 4 shelves.  If it cools, you're in great shape at that price, looks like everything else is there.  Even as a parts machine, you're close to making your money back.

Thanks for the quick comments.  I think it's been listed before, I may try and get it for $50, otherwise I'll pass.  I need to pick my battles with the wife and the garage is getting full of "projects"

Kookey, if you are in MO, I would definitely wait. It's been a goldmine of late. I live in TX, and have had 4 machines shipped in from KC, STL, and few other parts of the state. A lot of really good machines coming up in that area.

That is sound advice.

I just saw a DP machine on Ebay under completed auctions in NE Texas that didn't sell, opening bid was $50.  Just thought I'd mention it in case you were interested.

Just got one locally today...Selectivend 48 for $150!



I also really want this one, but dude is firm on $750. I think it's probably $150 overpriced.

      That doesn't look like junk to us, it'll clean up real nice with a pressure washer and you have a 95% chance the refrigeration is working.
   I think these machines should all be picked up at this price and held. The fact that they vend both bottles and cans will make them invaluable if something ever happened to our bottling industry.
