Title: Newbie - need help identifying machine
Post by: on August 23, 2004, 03:55:31 pm
HI -
I am a newbie but have been a fan of old coke machines for a long time. I recently purchased one but I can not identify it - it looks like Vendo 110 - can but it holds bottles and the coke swing arm doors.
Any help is appreciated.
I plan on posting pics soon.
Thanks,
Rob

It might be a Cavalier CSS-142.

Yep!, I just found it in the book! Cavalier CSS-142 / ~1964

Cool - thanks...
does it say anything about pricing?
and do you have any ideas where I can get parts? It runs good - just want to replace some chrome molding / glass.

It's listed in the Soda Machines Section under Cavalier...
If you have a moment, could you accurately measure your machine so I can include the information on the CSS-142 Page...?
As far as parts are concerned, I would start with those listed in the Parts Suppliers Section and go from there... You'll have to network to find things...
Machine looks good!

There's no exact range given for the CSS-142, the next closest machine is a CS-96C it's listed at $300 in good condition and $2000.00 fully Excellent/Restored.
fromSteve Ebner's book "Vintage Coca-Cola Machines Vol. II 1959-1968
Yours being a much larger machine, I'd say the low end is about right ( from what I've seen over the last year on the market) the high end seems a tad high, Even for a fully restored machine of this era.
well that's my opinion anyway...JohnieG
