Title: CS-96-A value Post by: brasskey on December 14, 2011, 09:38:36 pm I can pick this up for what I think is a decent price. I'm waiting for more pictures, but he said he would rate it a 6/10. Mostly due to the cosmetics. Normal scratches, dings, and it looks like someone took a spray can and marker to it. It cools and and internals are there (shelves, coin mech, etc). Without knowing more about it, what's a safe amount to pay? Thanks.

but maybe just a bad picture... don't know about 96 models but I paid $700 last January for a nice Cav72 from a antique mall... 96s are a little bigger... maybe check eBay's completed listings to get an idea of a price...

Thanks for the info. I looked for current and completed CS-96 auctions before I posted, but I couldn't find any. I'll keep an eye out on ebay though.

Much shorter and looks much better.

What is the machine to the left? Title: Re: CS-96-A value Post by: johnieG on December 15, 2011, 06:39:38 am What do you plan to do with the machine?
