That's $500+ in parts if you are wanting to restore it to original operating condition.
The water fountain is not an added bonus, more of a detractor - it is mounted where the coin mech should go. Personally I would pass for that price and condition.

They could use the refrigeration system already in the machine to cool a coil of copper tubing flowing through the cabinet. I have a VMC33 with the same water fountain setup.

Since its pepsi, its pretty common and get parted out a lot. I have a complete one that is sadly worth more in parts then as a machine. Its going in for the old chop,chop pretty soon.
