Found this machine on eBay and wanted to know i fit is worth anything. Guy started to restore it but never made it very far in the project. Says unit cools and everything is there just NOT in the machine due to the fact he was going to restore it. It is only about 45 minutes if that far from me. Whats the max any of you would pay for it? I will attach a picture though I am not sure it will really help. Also I can't find this model in the soda machines section so any info or help about it will be appreciated. Thanks again guys you ROCK!!

That is a monster of a machine - 78"Hx30.5"Wx34"D and weighing in at 610 pounds. All metal construction. I wouldn't want it. Walter's 3rd book gives the manual version of the machine an average value of $450, but I wouldn't pay half that for one.

I have a monster machine like that in front of my Coca Cola store, that was given to me.  The only good thing about it is,  it's so big and heavy that no one has attempted to steal it in the last 8 years, yet it brings in customers.  I would bet the seller of the  340 in the auction would probably pay someone to haul it away
