Title: Late Model Cavalier USS-64 Post by: Pixel on May 16, 2013, 01:27:47 pm Hello, everyone. :smile:
You may not remember me. I had the Choice Vend CVC-224 with serious vending problems and no cooling, and a white painted Cav CSS-64P. I haven't really had the wherewithal to pursue collecting for awhile, so I kinda got out the loop. Just to update I finally gave up and took the Choice Vend to the scrapper. Just too much wrong with it. The little Cavalier is still in the family, and still plugging along. Currently, I'm checking out a USS-8-64 that's for sale. It's probably from the early 80's, or maybe very late 70's. It has a cooling problem though, something to do with the condenser fan. I'll place a post detailing that in the Refrigeration forum. I was wondering, how many of the USS parts from the 80's are interchangeable with the 70's CSS machines? I would want a USS to run, but if the cooling system isn't fixable it might be good to have some extra parts anyway. Thanks.

The condensor fan motor is easy to replace and readily available from the site sponsors, Funtronics and Soda Jerk Works.
The shelves, vending rack, and glass door are different between the USS and CSS, everything else is pretty much the same (coin box, cap catcher, electrical, marquee) |
