I like these machines alot. They are small, have a lighted door and some have a lighted sign. They vend beer bottles, soda cans, and water bottles. They also have a small vending door. Great machine

Ok your other machines are USS-64 meaning Universal slant shelf machines meaning it will vend about anything. The one in the auction is a CSS-64. It is a bottle only machine. Alot of the parts are the same. the cooling stsyem is the same and the coin door and anything behind the coin door is the same as your machines. However this machine has different shelves a different bottle stack and a completely different cabnet. Under the woodgrain on this machine the door is painted black. if you can get it for under $200 and it cools I would say go for it. You can sell the shelves for about $5 to $10 each on ebay and the bottle stack will bring about $25. There are also alot of other small parts that you can sell so you will basicall be able to get a free cooling system. Sounds like a good deal to me. Or this machine looks like it might clean up. You might want to keep the machine as is and use it for bottles only. Just set a bottle crate on the top and you will never know the top is messed up. This CSS-64 is a G model and was made during the same years as your woodgrain USS-64.

Thanks loman, you are the man. How could you tell all that from one photo?
You say it will vend bottles, does that include beer and water bottles or just small soda bottles?
I have a bunch of coke wood crates too. Thats a great idea

Your welcome. i have had a ton of these in the past. Where do you live? I see that that auction is in Jascsonville. When I had most of my machines I lived in daytona. The CSS-64 will vend about any type of bottle. The only restriction is the bottle diameter. The new plastic bottles that are in the new machines are too fat. However they do sell longer thinner plastic bottles in the stores and the do vend just fine. On your machines the bottle is dispensed by turning the knob on the side of the bottle stack. On this machine it vends by actually grabing the neck of the bottle and pulling it through the vend gate. that is why it wont vend cans. They do fit but it is really hard to get them out. If you have skinny fingers you can pull the gate out with your hands and pull the can out that way but it is hard.

I live in St. Augustine Fl. I think this is going to be a great machine to add to my collection. Should I leave the wood grain or remove it?
