I just wanted to thank you for all the great information and sharing that takes place here.
I have been visiting for last 4 months and I must admit I am a much better reader than writer. If I had a question, a little reading and I would usually find i would usually find the answer.
I finally found a Cavalier machine on ebay that was close enough to home that shipping did not kill the deal. I did take a few chances and I believe I came out on top. The guy selling it found it in a building he had bought and it was his first sale on ebay. It did not have a plug or key so I wasn't sure it would work but the box loooked good so I bought it.
Well, when I got it plugged in it cooled great, and the vending mech worked as well. When I got a key and got inside I found about 20.00 in change in the machine, the newest coin in there was from 1981 so it appears the machine has been resting awhile.
In order to keep peace at home I had make a deal to retsore it to look cool if I wanted it the bar and not out in the garage. (WE are not big fans of fake woodgrain)
Well here I the results, I am about 95% complete... I still need to get the condesation out from between the door windows, get some labels for the selection knobs, and see if I can make the condenser noise a little quieter.
Thanks Again I could not have done it without you guys.
Jay

Oh Yeah.......... looks great. The USS 8 64 is the only machine I have. I love it. It's "original" and will be for a while. I'm finishing up a year long effort on a 1947 Oliver Row Crop 60 (Tractor) and will need a break after that !
You did a super job. Keep us posted about the condensation on the door window. I'm fighting that battle as you know. I did get the P-trap hooked up & working today. Also got the temp settled in at a reasonable level. I swear the humidity has been brutal here since I started trying to solve the problem.
Glad you got it in the house. I don't think I'll ever get mine in !
Good work !
Bob
