All,
I've been following a Cavalier 51 auction on eBay. It was on once before and received no bids for a $500 starting price. The guy relisted it, starting at $99 with a reserve. Turns out the reserve was $500 (shocker). I bid up to $350, but it never got above $305. I emailed the guy and he said for $400, it's mine. The wife supports me on this (she's so cool), so we just have to work out the details of picking it up (it's 50 miles from me). Hopefully, I did okay on this. Walters says average price is $650.
Here are the links to the auctions. The second one shows an inside shot.

Congrats, Wayne!!!! That's great. I have really enjoyed working on mine so far. I know that Mcarter did a really nice restoration on one. I was goofing around on colamachines.com and was looking at the restoration project pictures and found his machine and finnaly put 2 and 2 together (and got 5!?) and made the connection between the names and the geographical location.
So....I'm sure that he'd be more than willing to lend his expertise when it comes to Cav 51 specific questions.

Great Wayne! I knew you were watching it. I look forward to hearing what it is like when you get it home.

In the description the seller states that it cools well. Gee's I don't see a compressor?

Eric,
Yep. When it gets painted, it will be in all-red. I like the all-red machines better.
Glen,
I see the power cord, so I thought the compressor was towards the back in the shadows. If it ain't there when I get there, I ain't buying it!

Interesting. Here is a swiped pic from Matts restoration on the other board that is about the same angle. Looks to me like the compressor should be visible in your pics.
Belt, coin mech and everything else appears to be there. A replacement/rebuilt deck is a good idea anyway. Price adjusted of course. Sorry if this breaks any rules.

Call me crazy if you like, but the cord that is visible looks like the one that runs the fan in the cooling area, not one that runs the compressor. The fan in the cooling box does not wire into the compressor like the later models, it had a seperate cord.
