Have a chance to pick up this machine but can't figure out offer , it is complete but needs complete going thru and rust addressed in lower door . Have never used a machine with gun belt was not sure how hard they were to keep in operation . Any help with value would be great not looking to flip just get working , paint and put in house .

Hi,
The one in your picture is a Cavalier 51  it holds the bottles (small 8 oz ) in a belt that's know as an ammo belt because it's follows a set of rollers with a gear that rotate it . It must be complete and is present condition I'd say max $450 if it's missing the the belt or any rollers $150  I own one that I restored 12 years ago so I can help with pictures if needed .

Thank goodness for an I phone with a good camera , he did not hav key and it was close to wall , so I stuck my phone in and recorded the compressor area and in front where bottle door is missing and could see all the belt and it looked good. The compressor was complete but just like all that old that has been outside it looked rusty . The only thing now would to be to drill lock to see if coin op is missing but I think I will hold off on that to see if that helps me get a better price . Thanks for the info .
