Title: Cavalier C-102 Post by: mznb1u on September 21, 2010, 09:12:58 pm I was at a political fundraiser this evening and I met a guy from Coca Cola who has been collecting for over 35 years. We got talking machines and he mentioned that he has a pristine C-102. He invited me to stop by and see the rest of his collection and perhaps a tour of the local bottling plant. I will definitely be following up. It will be interesting to see the machine in person and to tour the plant!

Title: Re: Cavalier C-102 Post by: loman4ec on September 23, 2010, 08:51:19 pm I will bet its a 51. I have had two people tell me that they had a 102 and they had walters book and it turns out its a 51. He didn't show a really good picture of the machine vending from two sides.
Title: Re: Cavalier C-102 Post by: mznb1u on September 23, 2010, 09:29:14 pm Nope. It's a 102. He even has the "whites only" and "blacks only stickers" although he has not put those on the machine. I was pretty surprised when he said that was what he had but he described the machine perfectly. Should get to see it in the next few weeks when I get up to Northern MI.

Title: Re: Cavalier C-102 Post by: mznb1u on September 24, 2010, 11:30:46 am Unfortunately, he knows exactly what its worth. He has worked for Coca Cola Enterprises for a long time and that is the jewel of his collection. I'm just glad he offerred me the chance to come and see it! He also offerred a tour of one of the bottling plants!
I will take plenty of pictures of the 102. :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Cavalier C-102 Post by: cokemachinesandmore on September 24, 2010, 10:38:41 pm pictures would be great
