Title: Cavalier Identification Help Post by: greg in canby on July 06, 2014, 07:00:45 pm Just picked up this parts machine and have what I need off it. I will be selling misc. parts but need help with machine identification as there is NO data plate.
A Cavalier 64 of some sort with 8 shelves that measure 8" x 14". There is a data plate on the cooling parts that might make sense to somebody. Thank you for any help y'all can give.

Like this one here. (http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=19491.0;attach=48310;image) The hole for the bottle opener looks too wide for the bezel around it to interchange with a standard (red "Enjoy Coca-Cola" w/wave sign) Cav 64, but hopefully someone with more knowledge will confirm that. Title: Re: Cavalier Identification Help Post by: MoonDawg on July 07, 2014, 07:45:36 am According to Steve Ebner's book, Cavalier first introduced the CS-64C in 1960, identifiable by it's gold coin entry plate across the front.
In 1962 the C-64-E was introduced which had the round chrome entry bezel we are all familiar with, and is the most popular today. The machine being discussed here was named the CSS-64 and was produced from 1966 and on. The woodgrain and polished aluminum was supposed to give it a more modern look, but I think now it only hurts it's desirability in the collector market. All parts on the latter 2 models are interchangeable. Title: Re: Cavalier Identification Help Post by: greg in canby on July 07, 2014, 10:15:11 am Thank you both for the help. Mystery solved!
Title: Re: Cavalier Identification Help Post by: Pixel on July 07, 2014, 02:39:09 pm I've heard of a CS-64F, which from what I can tell is almost identical to the CS-64E. What is the difference between those two models?
