Nice little Cav USS 64.  Was indoors its whole life - nice clean original.  Need to clean the glass on the bottle door, but otherwise it is really clean and 100% functional.   Thanks everyone for the suggestions on model.  I wanted something to vend both cans and bottles and I think this will do nicely.

Tina even likes it but says the wood grain has to go!

Glad to see you got it, looks exactly like the one I got from Annapolis.  The inside of the coin door is white, which means under the woodgrain is also white.  I have had some that are black primer.  I score around the Cavalier logo on the bottom with a razor before I pull off the woodgrain, then it stays when you peel it off, looks better in my mind.

I had posted some photos of my labeling system before, but the old posts don't have photos anymore, so I'll put them here again.  I hot-glued small round (3/4") magnets from Home Depot or Michaels to each of the stacks, then you can just stick bottle caps to them to label.  I bought a whole bunch and keep the extras inside the door to swap out.
