Thanks guys. I'm absolutely pumped I was able to get it at a great price. I always said to myself there has to be some machines in peoples garages and houses in my local area. Finally I found one!!

       That's an extremely nice find Seth.  I guess this pilot doesn't watch much TV.  blush

       Nice machine Seth.

       But I wanted to alert you  that the compressor is not original to that machine.
       The original will have a cylindrical evaporator in the cooling compartment.
       The one that is in it is from a newer Cavalier 64 or 96. Notice they had to try and straighten the 90 degree bend in the copper tubing
to bring it down the left side rather than the right?  Also the evaporator is missing a cover, I have one if you can't find it locally.
      The actual compressor and condenser and base are the same in both the early and late models..... but they mounted this one sideways.
The condenser should be facing the front of the machine.  
       I don't see a problem with it, but I know how strict you are on detail and originality.
       If you are going to flip it for a nice profit, rest assured that most people could care less about originality on the inside.
       But if you need to do a search for an original style compressor, some of the early squaretops still used the older style evaporators.

Thanks for the heads up Glen I was not aware of that. I kinda figured there was some stuff changed when I saw the coin mech was stamped 1978. I don't plan on keeping it for my collection but rather use for trade or sell at some point. Just not rare enough for me but maybe the 96 along with some cash will get me the Mills 45 I've been so patiently waiting for.  hopefull
