Just in case the ad gets pulled.  It has a penny box to boot!  And as usual--restored it is worth $5,000-$6,000!  :biggrin: 8) :laugh:

Yeah, the prices down here for machines is pretty crazy.  Apparently everyone down here watches American Restoration.  There is a Select-O-Matic for sale that doesn't cool and "used to work" and he's just come down to $350 for it.  I didn't wanna insult him by offering him $150 so I didn't go see it.

That stupid show has everyone believing soda machines are all worth thousands. I've been looking for my next machine and it seems anything older than 1970 is $800+ ( at least in my area)
