Title: Looking for a basic machine somewhere between DC and Charlotte, NC
Post by: tkaz on December 21, 2010, 05:57:59 pm
I got a request from a family member down in Charlotte that they want a soda machine for their new fiancee.  Preferably, I'm looking for something along the lines of a Vendo 63, Cavalier USS or CSS or CS 64.  I'll consider whatever you might have though.  I'd like something in working shape, I probably won't be able to do much of a restoration on it.  Price is up in the air, but $200-$300 is about the range I am looking for.

Not a lot of machines out there now, I've been scrubbing craigslist and ebay for a couple weeks now, but haven't found much.  I sure do miss Craiglook.

I'm right outside of DC, and willing to travel some to get it.

Thanks!

Wasn't a Virginia or West Virginia based SMC member selling some machines (thinning the herd as they say) recently? I am too far west to help, but good luck....machines are out there.

If you feel like coming to NJ, I can probably fix you up with something.. I've got a USS-64 with a bad compressor, but I have a new one in the box, just never got around to installing.. I could also get together a V63, cans or bottles, but its missing the sign panel. We are about 3 hrs north of Baltimore..

OK, I'm changing my search from south to north!  I'd like to pick up a USS machine for my buddy up in CT for his birthday (at his war department's request)...anybody have one (bubba??) and/or know of a decent machine they've come across in some searches along the 95 corridor?

Maybe hit this person up after the auction ends?

Thanks Dan, that's what I'm looking for, but 'Gets cold, however a refridge charge wouldn't hurt.' That line scares me a little bit, worth an email at least.
