Title: I finally found another machine!
Post by: bmw90w on July 28, 2014, 07:53:37 pm
Wow it seems like it has been forever since I have gotten to load a machine in the back of my suv! I have looked for a while and all I have seen is $4500 cavalier 51s!! Got this for a smoking deal of $800. The previous owner didn't have a key so I had to inspect it as carefully as I could. I took a chance and bought it and was amazed at the condition when I drilled out the lock (it was already jacked up). This is the first machine I have ever bought with absolutely zero belt line rust. Even the galvanized interior is really nice just a little dirty. The breaker strips even look really good. He said this was stored inside its whole life and I believe it. I am only missing the rejector for the national 3400 series, but I should be able to find one that works. I literally am just going to rewire it, clean the bottle door glass, polish her up and call it a day! Great find, especially for a 72 I have always wanted since I let my 96 go. I was reading a little about these and saw where there was a large script machine out there. Is this the large or smaller script?

Good to be back in the game again! Sorry about the sideways pics (stupid iPhone)
