Title: cavalier 102
Post by: Ezra on April 06, 2013, 09:21:28 pm
I did a forum search to get information on this model but couldnt find much. Is this machine rare/sought after.  I got a call about one in the back of a garage they want to sell.  Looks cool. 

Thank You!

Well, if it's an actual C-102, then YES, very rare and sought after.  I think it's come up a couple times on the forum, and ended up being just C-51's.

I just found this one in CT. $850 Ezra, I love when people say " i have been told they go for 4000 to 5000 refinished"  and I respond yes after you spend 4.000 to 5,000 to restore it. So then technically I should get it for free!

I know a retired Coke exec who has a Cav 102.  I have not gotten a chance to go see it yet but it is the real deal and he had their vending department do a complete refurb on it before he took it home.

You should try and go see it. Looks like a neat machine. :biggrin: I wish someone near me had one so I could check it out.

Tim...Is this the guy in Grosse Pointe?  I repaired a VMC44 for a former Coke exec that-a-ways a few years back.  ( no need to broadcast it if it is, just curious, if so PM me)

I tried to sell a fully restored 102 for my collector friend of mine a couple years back. There was no true interest out there for it so it was a tough sell. Forgot what we were asking for it but was reasonable. He ended up selling it in the collection. He later went to the auction that was selling a lot of his pieces and it sold for a whopping $4,000, ouch!
