Title: Picked up this Cavalier 72 today!
Post by: Slider-Bob on November 02, 2012, 09:25:12 pm
Picked this up today.

5 hour round trip in Michigan.

Seller is 68 years old, and had used this fridge in his frat house in 1968. Owned it for 45 years.

100% complete, cools, vends fine, all lights work. Needs a new power cord, and has minor dent in coin door.

Taking offers, or may take to Chicago next week to sell/trade.

This one below in comparable shape bid at over 1k on active listing now...

The apparent scratch on outside near top is not a scratch. it's a thread from blanket on top.

     If you take it to the show you could sell it for cash..........
 or trade it to someone for 3  or 4 complete sliders

Nope. Haven't plugged it in yet.

Sale is pending until I verify it cools, vends, etc. I need to tape up the power cord first!

That will happen tomorrow.
