Cav 72 I bought today

[Ezra]

Purchased today.  Has been sitting in a barn for forty years in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lemon Cove Ca. It was brought home in the 1970's by an employee of the olive oil factory where it was used in the 1950s and 1960s.  Wish it didn't have the water setup.  Nice solid original for restoration, my 2 cents granted I know there is rust but solid machine.

In picture of coin mechanism there is no dime catcher metal box. Did some come without the coin catcher for dimes? Thank you!

[Eric]

Great find... Great machine! Congrats!!

[Ezra]

Thanks Eric and Jared.  I was just trolling funtronics website.  Im thinking of keeping this one and doing a restoration.  I brought my two year old son with to pick it up so there is some sentimental value there too in this piece, first machine we bought together.

Great keeper and some day hand it down to him.

i agree wiyh rod.i have bought machines with my sons and they will never leave the family.

Think I can get $1750 for this machine?  The coin door was professionally sandblasted and the bottle opener hole was professionally repaired by best hot rod body man in fresno. Bought coin door key from funtronics. Water faucet is gone. Not sure if it kools.

A guy has a cherry one and I want to go with my son to trade up.

Your thought ?
Thank you!

I think a real nice original would be a good solid $2500
