Looks like a solid machine!
Don't forget to clean up the bottle cap trail!

And I saved another one from being used for Coors!! That was the bottle cap trail! Beer caps!

A couple months after I first started looking for a RT coke machine, I came across a listing on local Craigslist from a guy selling a 56 and an 81D.  I bought them both and still continue to look for other local machines almost every day.  That was 3 years ago and haven't been lucky enough to come across another since then.  When you find a nice one that close, you have to take advantage of it.  Nice find!

2 for one, that's a haul!!!

My first working machine came from an antique store less than 15 miles away. Still cools fantastic after almost 8 years, and looks pretty good too. Needs a cleaning though.

There's something to be said for buying local. It's definitely cheaper on gas. They just don't show up that often around here though down

I saw that one if it was CL, but it wasn't worth the distance for me espically when he went up on the price! It looks better in your pic then the CL ad! Nice pickup!
