Title: Cavalier c-51
Post by: on August 10, 2004, 10:41:12 pm

I am getting a Cavalier C-51... I know it originally vended 6.5 oz bottles. Is it capable of vending the 8 oz bottles that are being offered by Coke?

Thanks.

Either no one knew the answer to my question, or the question was too boring to warrant an answer...

I am now in possession of my machine and believe that it will, in fact, successfully vend the new 8 oz bottles.

CoolCat,

I apologize for not seeing your post!
And yes, the 8 oz bottles are the same size as the 6 1/2 oz bottles; they are just made from thinner glass which, believe it or not, allows for an additional 1 1/2 oz of fluid.

Good luck with your new C-51!

Jim,

Thanks for the additional information. I am in the process of cleaning my machine up, and hope to have it operational in the not-too-distant future.

The machine is in pretty good shape... just a minor skinning of the paint here and there (primarily on the upper sides) and a bit of minor surface rust. I figure once it's cleaned up, the skuff marks will add a certain amount of charm.

I imagine I will have to post a few questions here as I get the machine back in condition.

Thanks again!
