We'll after the long ordeal with my Vendo 81 for $75 that went Belly up, I have another machine I'm working on that will ease the a Pain a bit!!
I found a garage sale ad that listed a "Have A Coke" Machine for sale... by the wonderful technology of Reverse address Lookup, I found the phone number of the seller. I called yesterday and asked if I could have some more info on the Coke Machine he was selling, He begain to tell me about it and said it had a glass door on the left and the lettering was sticking out on the front where it said Coke. He didn't have a model number but by his description that was good enough for me as it was either a V81 or Cav 72 I thought! I casually asked how much and he said he needed $300 for it or he'd keep it cause "These Coke Machines are Worth Alot of Money" he told me!  I asked if I could come see it today and he said yes after 5pm.. SO I'm heading out tonite to see it at 5pm and based on the photo I got late last nite I'll be buying it! biggrin It's not a Vendo 81 for 75.00 but I'll take a Cav 72 for $300 anyday too!!!

Thanks Guys, I'm excited to go get it... I had one once too... was my 3rd machine I owned, restored it and made a few bucks on it.
This one most likely will be for resale as I just don't have the room... what you have guys been seeing these sell for... I haven't done much research yet but would imagine it should bring 1000 or so?
Thoughts?

Congrats!
Are you going to try to get all the (10 oz?) returnable bottles next to the machine too?

Well.. if you decide to sell it... wait till the Coin Op show and say you'll haul it there
for gas money... it would maybe bring a little more and free gas to the show!
