Title: Need help identifying a USS-64 machine
Post by: bcharlton on January 27, 2012, 04:56:47 pm
The back plate reads USS-7-91/56  S.  It sure looks like a Cavalier USS-64.

Any help would be great appreciated.

I know the Pepsi USS-64 machines read USS-8-48...maybe its just another brand, is it Dr. Pepper or something else?

Yep, its a USS machine...but does it only have 7 rows?  I guess that would account for the different model number.  My USS-64 has 8 rows, and stands just over 54" tall, is that one shorter?

Yes,

It does in fact, have only 7 shelves.  Can anyone else confirm this?  I'm no experts on the square tops.

     Yes, how tall is it? The ones I have are 55 1/2".
     A C-64 has 8 cans X 8 shelves.
     I guess your C-56 means 8 cans X 7 shelves?

     Truly a rare machine.

MoonDawg,

It is a USS machine.  I can tell by the round shelve knobs and the width of the bottle door.

The bottle viewing windows are a lot smaller too, just above the turn knobs. I wonder what the 91 stands for in the model number, that's the only one I can't make sense of.  Maybe the 7 shelves could hold 13 skinny cans or bottles each?
