Title: Found two machines on CL
Post by: kbareit on September 14, 2012, 06:43:22 pm
I spotted what appears to be a RC cavalier square corner for $200 and it is supposed to work. The other appears to be a Pepsi LaCross square corner that is all there but doesn't work for $75. I think the Pepsi is worth it, if it can't be repaired the parts should fetch enough to cover the cost. Is the RC worth what they are asking? I attempted identifying the machines by looking at some on Ebay so I might be wrong on the make. Any thought's welcome.
                                          Thanks, Ken

To me, if the machine is working and all the parts are there, $200 isnt a bad price. Watch for rust though.

As far as parts availability and price some of the more experienced members will chime in. They have helped me with both my machines and given really good advise.

Has to be the oddest looking phonograph I've ever seen!  :tounge:

Oops. "RCA"?  Must have been the percocet I took this evening. G'night!

Those are boat anchors, also known as back breakers and widow makers.

Stay away.

I picked up the La Cross Pepsi machine and was suprised it was in pretty good shape. There was no heavy rust and all the parts are there. The seller said the cord was cut off and he never tried to see if it would run. I'll wire it up tomorrow and see what happens and post some pics.
