I have a chance to pick up a fairly rough Dole Deluxe.  Missing the lid but it comes with two bases.  One appears to be in better condition than the other.  Have never been terribly interested in these, but the body seems pretty straight, just that the paint has seen better days.  It may just be a parts candidate, has the medallion, both bases and internal syrup tank.  Handle is there but not that good of condition.  I haven't followed this section of the board much and I only looked at it for a few moments so I have no idea what it is worth.  Without the lid it won't really display very well, so I don't think it is a restoration candidate.  I don't have any pics but thought I would see first what the value of a parts dispenser would be and second if anyone needs anything off this model.  I'll see it again later in the week.

someone on here was looking for a base... bases can bring $75-150 bucks depending on condition does it have the cup/tray thing with the grate
the grate could even bring close to a hundred those are always missing.. Medallion $50-100 depending on condition... but lids show up from time to time on ebay.. ebay would be a good place to check to get idea of value... internal tank should have a lid and a valve/rod inside that come out...
again these are often missgin this could be a good parts dispenser.

I would like to see a picture and what you would want for everything.

Thanks,

I don't have any pics just yet, only looked it over for a minute or two.  I will have a chance this weekend to look at it again.  I'll get a pic or two and more info.

Ok thanks I'll wait for your reply.

Well, here it is.  The paint is pretty rough but the body seems pretty solid.  When you turn it over it almost sounds like there is sand in the bottom but nothing comes out when turned upside down.  Seems odd, any thoughts?  The medallion is in nice condition.  Some scratches in the chrome but none are real deep.  The bases are identical so I am showing one from the front and the other from the side.  No cup holder and the inside only has the syrup container with no lid or plunger.  Not sure what to do with it yet - Is this thing too far gone to be more than a parts donor? 

Kind of rough, I wouldn't mind it for parts, does the outside shell have any rust. Also it has Vermiculite inside that is what you feel when you move it around. Give me a price shipped, my Zip code is 98512.
