Introducing myself.

[Witchboard]

Hello all.  I'm new to the site and a new owner of a Cavalier CSS-64.  My only soda machine.  It's in pretty good condition from what I can tell and cools well.  There's a couple of things I need to fix, but I'll post those in their respective areas in the forum.  I've already got some longnecks in there from making sure it would hold my favorite beverages. 

I'm an arcade collector at heart, but I really wanted a bottle vending machine for fun.  Glad to be here.

As requested.  I have not started cleaning it up yet, other than vacuum the leaves out of the bottom.  It was stored outside under a patio, so there doesn't seem to be much sun fading.

You have a cavalier CSS-64G. They are nice machines. They really are great working and functional machines. There are a lot of us here that own these or have in the past. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Welcome aboard great machine I have several 64s right now, I can tell you one thing they are heavy and built like tanks.

What makes it a "G" or an "S"?  The wood grain?  Yes, they are heavy.  A friend and I had to load it in the back of his truck.  I'm glad the guy I bought it from had some scrap carpet.  It made sliding into the bed and moving it around easier.

Welcome aboard!!  It won't be long and you will have a whole house of soda machines...


As for those Cav 64 models.  They are heavy for sure.  I loaded one by myself not to long ago to take to Joey.  It is not something I want to to again any time soon.

By yourself?  No thanks.  I prefer my guts on the inside.
