I would stay away from it but that's just me. Don't think it has any collector value.

Have no idea of the value. But i like the stainless ribs it remains of a 1015 wurlitzer.  If i have this i should paint it all orange and polish the trims (maybe paint the silver faceplate to black) an add the old Crush logo (white with black shadows) on the top. Maybe put one of the crush bottle decal i often see a ebay the, on the "black" faceplate. What bottle size does it vends ? |

those are odd looking but in a very cool vintage way. I think all pre 60's machines are collectible in some small way. For the right price I would grab it

I don't think this model holds alot of collectablitly value, however it appears to be a nice orignal.. so for a machine collector, polished up and left as is, it would like nice in the corner of the collection... but as far as resale, pretty tough, so don't sink alot into it..
if it came up around me and I had room, Id give 300-350 for I supose for the decorator value...

I saw that one listed as well and asked for better pictures, but haven't received any yet. Nice machine, but not nearly as popular with the collectors, it seems. Not real practical for home use, but I like off-the-wall machines. He told me it didn't work...

That's a great looking machine. I'd love to add a 45 or 65 to my collection. I like the machines you can find for sale only a couple times a year or less on Ebay or elsewhere. It's all about the hunt and history for me. Now I just need to make more money to buy them all.

I sold one that was in blue with a pepsi medalion for 400.00 but if you buy it take several friends with good backs to move it, the one I had would flatten my dolly wheels even when aired up. The Compressor looked like a #3 wash tub around...

Guy wants too much and, though in great shape, turns out it doesn't cool like GreginNM mentioned. Thanks for the input everyone.

Well, back in 1999 when the book was updated, before they all took the recent jumps in value, it was listed at a value of $750 in this condition. Its a rarity of 4.5 and according to the book ....of the post war Mills machines, the 65 is by far the most desirable.
So no, not everyone will have seen them. They were worth twice the "SMC Appraisal" before everything went UP in this boom. Its small, compact, and coca cola...but weighs 362#. Hold back from the crazy prices of 81D, yes, hard to get your money back of you dump $3000 in it for a restoration, yes. Worth less than half it was 15 years ago working and complete except a lock??? I have to question that one.
