Title: What type of machine is this?
Post by: cccc5151 on May 27, 2014, 08:02:16 am
I was at a flea market this weekend and a vendor had this machine for sale. Does anyone know what type of machine this is?  The outside had a lot of pitted rust.  Inside wasn't too bad, had all the original parts.  Vendor was asking $650 for it, he said it ran and got cold.  Thanks

It's a Jacobs, for sure.  Not sure exactly which model.

If the insides are there it's worth that in parts. If it cools, that is a plus! I would snatch it up for $650.

It's an earlier version as it has the split door.  Later version had the full door.

It could also be a 160

Hard to tell size in the pic, but they look a lot alike.

Ok... I gotta ask.... what's the difference between the 2?  They are identical in every way that I can tell.  Any insight would be great, as I don't feel like moving my machine to see what mine is lol.
Mine is a split door, but now I'm going to lose sleep if I don't know what the difference is lol
