Title: Help! looking for dixie narco dcb170-100

Help! I'm looking for an older pepsi machine, most likely from late 60's. I believe the model in question is a Dixie-Narco DCB170-100 unit. The machine I remember was painted in light blue, with white stripes and lettering, vends 5 flavors in cans. It had a two-layer plastic sign, with a clear lens, then the pepsi logo in relief behind the lens.
Here's my questions -
1. Do I have the right model number for this machine? I haven't found it on then net, but did find one local machine with this model info, but it'd been "modernized" pretty clumsily.
2. Does anyone have a lead on where I could purchase one?
Thanks for all your help!

MikeM,
Sorry, I know nothing about the Dixie-Narco machines., as mine are all Vendos.
Can you Google Images the model and attach a photo?
But most of all, welcome to our forums here. Stick around.

I was snooping out at EBay, ran across one unit which I believe could be the model I'm looking for:

This leads to an interesting question someone may be able to help with. This machine is in sunny California; I'm in windy Kansas. I ran the Ebay freight estimator, and it shows a estimated door to door ship cost of over $450. Is a machine in this condition and age worth paying shipping of this amount to bring back? Also, what experiences have people had with Ebay? I'm a definite newbie, so any advice appreciated.
Thx!

The person wants local pickup. If you can talk the person in to shipping it you will more then likely have to pay that person to crate it and take it to a place that will ship it. So your $450 for shipping could run you another $50 to $150. I would pay $100 to $200 for a local machine that looks like somebody tried to molest it and put the money into it to make it look that good or better. I will spend less money then what I would have spent on shipping. The machine might also end up going up to $200+ by the time the auction ends. I also live in Kansas and decided a while back that if I can not drive and pick it up then I don't want it. I have a machine that I am restoring that by the time I get done with it I should have about $350 invested in it. That is including buying and driving to pick it up.
