Title: Cavalier C55-8-64 Serial# G566963.....?
Post by: wee on October 24, 2012, 03:16:34 pm
Can anyone tell me any more about this machine.....?  I know some are 2 selection machines and some have the light up sign....?

I don't have any pics yet....Still waiting on them....I'm not sure the owner even has a digital camera.

Thank You
Brian

       You may be confusing the C-55 with the CSS-8-64,
both Cavalier early 60's machines.

 And if it is a C-55 and a 2 selection then you should snag it up if its a good price.

I haven't seen it...I think I'll go tomorrow at lunch and look at it....They are asking $200 but the ad says it doesn't run.....I bet Glen is right....Easy to mistake CSS for C55.

Unless it was in mint condition it's not worth $200 to me....I'll take pics and post contact info tomorrow night in case someone else is interested.

       Brian, just last week you said you were interested in a can machine that you can set up at work.  This is the one you need, it's gravity feed and vends bottles or cans.
      If you do the math you will see that whatever you pay for this machine will be recovered through profits in a matter of months. Go for it Buddy!  :happydrinkers:

I thought a CSS machine was bottles only.....?  They didn't get back to me with an address today before lunch time so it will be next week before I can take a look at it.  If it is a bottle only unit how hard is it to convert....?

I bet the compressor is shot so even if everything else is OK it would still cost $300 plus to get it up and running.

I have seen working USS machines in the $300-$400 range and they will vend both won't they....?

I would like to have a machine to take to the office....and this one could be it.

     I stand corrected, the USS-8-64 is the can vendor you are looking for.
