I can buy a cavalier cs-96e for $300.00. It is all there and runs good. Has a few scratches and one small dent on the side. The lights all work. It has a coke bottle decal on the front, I am not sure if that was added later.
What do you think.
Thanks any help is greatly appretiated,
Lee (newbe)

Round top or square top? I'm assuming square top, right?

Lee, welcome to the group. Great to have you here.
I'm no expert, but have learned a lot here.
What matters most is if it feels worth $300 to you. Value depends a lot on the buyer's taste, needs and perceptions.
That said, I have seen similar machines go for anywhere between $150-$500.
If you like it and it is complete and running, then I would say that $300 is a good enough price.

Glad I could help.
Perhaps offer $250 and if they say "no", then feel just fine about settling for $300.
Again, welcome to the family here and to the addiction of collecting machines that you are about to develop.  '>

Welcome aboard Lee,
I picked up a CS-96e this weekend, and from searching Funtronics, and the Soda Jerk Works catalogs (both have contact information in the vendor's section) parts are easily obtainable. The price was low enought I thought I would turn around and throw it back up for sell, but after a few hours with it, it will be a restoration for the future game room.
Markito speaks rightly, it's a great hobby, but highly addicitive

I bought it and I am very happy about it. Had to pay $300.00 but I am ok with it.

Glad you are happy Lee. In the end, that is all that matters.
We're excited for you. Keep us updated on it. Welcome to the cult. The Kool-aid and applesauce is on me.
