Yes, Cavalier 33. I don't think they are overpriced. It's a pretty cool little machine. Non embossed so you can restore it back to 7up or change the flavor. I just wouldn't do it in Coke because they did make a embossed Coke 33, similar to the 27. They are small, only waist high. Restored it looks fantastic.

      I disagree. If you ever decide to sell it, Coke is by far the largest market.
A full restoration would be a poor investment but a paint job is easy to do on this machine. (All red with a white door insert looks good).
They are very small and have a unique vending system. If you could get one for around $750........... buy it and have some fun!  :drinking:

I'd pay $1100 for it if it were in my town.

Do you think it would fit in the overhead locker on an aeroplane. I hear Delta have big overhead lockers..

I just would never restore a generic machine in Coke if that same machine was offered in a embossed version. Actually, I think that would go for any flavor soda machine. I think that would be the poor man's version of the embossed version.

       Make sure the compressors work on all these small Cavalier units, because they are in a difficult location to get at for service.

The C-33 is not like the C-27. The C-33 system slides out just like most uprights. It is very similar to the C-51 style with a line running up the body for the evap.
