When you factor in the savings from not needing to ship along with the condition and how easy or hard it may be to restore, it makes since to pay a couple of dollars more for a complete and easy to restore machine that is located nearby.
I would gladly pay $450.00 for a complete c-51. Heck, I paid more for mine.
Besides, I wonder what the coin mech and bottle belt are worth, if you can find them?
good luck.

The best I've seen around here for a complete but needs to be restored Cav 51 was $750.00 USD
And don't forget the Cavalier being discussed is across the pond, it's a lot easier to find a good machine, or parts here than in the UK.
Since my first machine was a Vendo 39, I have a special place in my heart for single vend, small bottle machines, so I may be slightly biased
All that matters is:
Is the machine complete?
Do you feel comfortable giving restoring a go?
Do you like it?

I love the vendo 39. It took me almost 20 years before I was in a position to buy one. Now I am restoring two.
$300.00 for the ammo belt. Wow! Thanks a lot.
So $450.00 for a complete machine should be more thet fair.

I agree...it's all about what YOU like!
RC Kid...I'm the same as you! It took me almost 20 years as well to get a V-39. It has always been my favorite for some strange reason, and I have always equated the C-51 to the V-39, though not as high on my fav list.
I guess I'll have to watch the C-51s that come up dirt cheap and complete around here. I didn't realize they were so much money in just parts!

Just had an e-mail from the seller saying he's been offered £700 for the C51.
Looks like I'm sticking to the pins then!
