Yesterday I checked the newspaper ads as always. Garage sale this weekend
someone posted "old coke machine". Well squaretops are old so I'm assuming they
think they have a goldmine. Even so, it's our duty to check it out.
Forgot all about it until today, but I thought I should at least go look at it and
leave them my phone # in case it doesn't sell.
It was almost 9:00 AM when I arrived, people everywhere of course. I spotted
the machine and froze! Well it must be sold and waiting for someone to come back to
pick it up?
As I was inspecting it, the lady says "150.00.....needs a lot of work". I suppose
a $100.00 offer would have bought it, but I offered $140.00. Her husband grabbed my
cash and said SOLD!
My project for today was to complete the machine I got from Terry but this
thing just followed me home! Picture of both below.
Keep checking your classified ads folks, as you never know when or where these
things will show up.

Awesome find, Glen!! Congrats! That's a right nice pair you got there! You are right, you never know what is out there to be found, and never assume anything! Now, where were those yard sales I read about today...  |

It is complete except for the bottle door handle. It cools, no dents or rust. Just the typical holes for a water fountain, but this  securtiy system?  |

first thought is how lucky you are....................
but your luck comes thru hard work and resilience
you dont hear about all those times you go to the
sale or the seller and its not even a soda machine
and you have wasted time and gas.Its these finds
that make all those other days worthwhile
so its just good hunting and not good luck!

I had a regular customer come in the store today. He said a friend of his was at a garage sale yesterday and called him about an antique Coke machine for sale for $150.00. By the time he got there it was gone News like this travels fast in a small community of 100,000. Then I showed him the actual machine he missed! He was .....  |

If I was a betting person, I would say if you get hld of the seller, he will tell you he is out of the country, but has laeft the machine with Power Sellers, or some other fictictious company.
Try sending an email to the Craigslist posting instead of the personal email given.
maybe I am to cynical today, but my Scam Alarms are going off
Edit: I did reverse lookup of the phone number, it is listed on multiple Yellow Pages sites as
Rockwall Tool & Cutter Service 138 S Valencia Ave Ste A Glendora, CA (626) 963-3311
And he also has a a Wurlitzer 1015 Cd bubbler for $1850, yeah, two higher end items waaaay below retail

I didn't see the link, but was guessing it was a vendo 81 for 500 bucks or something ludicrous??? I've responded to a few of the Wurlitzer ads and got the , I am out of the country responses, it's in a wharehouse in St. Louis..... I responded by saying great I have a friend in st. louis who will arrange to inspect the machine for me and pay in cash once he picks it up. ... Never heard back?  Hmmm wonder why! |

Great find Glen. If your looking for a orginial bottle door handle PM me or email me at andersondart@hotmail.com. I had to part out a CS 96 a while back and I still have the bottle door handle. I think they were the same as the CS 72 right? Anderson |

I've never compared, but I think they are the same as the Westy chest machines like the WD-5, WE-6, etc.
