Got home tonite with the Cav 72... it's real nice, orignal paint, nice and straight, gaskets are good, has coin mech but has a bypass free vend switch installed , but it all works.. .Guy had it running when I went to pick up to show it got cold..  who knows ,just might keep it? never know?
While I was there also picked up a pretty cool Coke Bottle Thermometer made of Brass? never seen one, not sure if it's a fantasy peice or not, but was cool for the 20 bucks it cost me.

And also found another item along the way, it's a chopped jr cooler I think? but looks like it was attempted to be made into a counter top chest cooler? doublt it was orignally intended to be this , but for $25.00 couldnt' leave it laying... had to give it a home!!

I'll chalk this one up to a pretty darn good day!!!!

Awesome John ! ! !

I'd say this was a good Day.
Put a little effort into the Junior and sell it to buy something else...

John, where are you looking for garage sales? Craigslist and the newspaper?

Nice finds, I am jealous

Thanks

Thanks guys,
Yes the Chopped Cooler was in Crystal MN. Not where I got the Cav 72, but figured since I was in the area, might as well have a look, she wanted $40 for it and I offered $25 and took it.
I do search garage sales whenever I can find them, my job gives me the freedom a bit when I'm out and about to stop alot, other than that it's just been luck so far!

Just got a lead on a Wayne 60 gas pump... I'm following up on later today... hopefull

Gosh, sound like things are alive and well up in Wisconsin! That was a great deal you got on that Cavalier 72.
