She says as long as she has room to pull her car in we are good.

I have to provide double space for my wife!

That's where your'e wrong....I definitely have a war department.  I'm wondering if it will be better to ask for forgiveness than permission.  She said she would be ok with me buying a machine...we'll see what she thinks when i show up with two!  I'm going to call the guys today about each of these machines.  Wish me luck.  hopefull

The good thing about the USS-64 is it is usable since it will vend cans and bottles and both at the same time. Just make sure that it is stocked with her favorite soda or adult beverage and also explain how much extra room will be in the refrigerator by getting all of the cans and bottles out of the refrigerator. That should help  Smiley Also explain that they are a good investment. Especially the USS-64. These usable slant shelf cavalier and Vendo machines are the next collectable machines. Whiw

Its a sad sad day.  I called to make an offer on my very first coke machine (v23 deluxe) and the gentlemen sold it last night.  The machine was only listed for 2 days on craigslist and its gone.  Damn.  Looks like I'll have to start my search all over.

I still might have a go at the cavalier.  I just really like the look of the older ones without plastic, or at least I think they are all metal.  I'm not sure what it is, but I just think they look really solid and interesting.

It's a buyers market,  others will turn up. Let your friends and coworkers know, you'd be suprise at the number  of ossible leads  that turn up by simple workd of mouth.

The older machines have a cool facor, even if they can only vend one flavor small bottles, yeah, i'm partial, but I won't  give up the 81 and 56 waiting to be restored anytime soon.

Yes, I agree the older machines have that certain flair... and I still favor them over a square top ,, but with the light up signs , that has a cool factor to it and if restored right, they can look cool! but of course gotta buy what you can afford... you can buy several square tops for what you might spend on a older embossed machine...

True. I am actually thinking about turning my faygo into a Vernors machine. I love Vernors. Mine doesn't light up though.

Others will always pop up. The vendo 23 has eluded me, but one day I will get one!
