Sent the seller of this Cavalier an email asking for model number or confirmation that it'll hold 12oz bottles. Answer that came back was 8oz bottles only. I looked around the machines section here at smc and couldn't find any cavaliers that were listed as only taking 8oz?
Anybody recognize whether this is a USS or CSS 64 or some other model? Are there 1960's slant shelve Cavalier models that only take 8oz bottles?
Thanks!

Bryan,
It looks like to me like a uss-64, Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think the USS-64 models will fit the 6 oz/new 8 oz bottles only

Kilroy - that's what is looked like to me also. And the machine section here says only 6.5oz bottles, but in this thread on CSS-64 Dan V said he has a 64 and stocks 12oz bottles in it.
Seller just said model marked on tag is CSS-8-64...

| I use my USS-64 daily and this one is even better because it is a USS-96. You will be able to get 7 cans in it per shelf or 8 - 8oz little cokes or 7- 12 oz long necks or 16.9 oz plastic. You can get nice retro stickers that fit over the round knobs from funtronics. The inside is immaculate! 12 different selections too! |

I bid $50 as I wasn't sure about being able to use it with my 12oz bottles. Didn't meet the reserve, so I'll follow-up offline with the seller and see what they'll take. Won't go much higher as it's a "Kito drive" (about 6 hours each way) to pickup. Can you say 'roadtrip'

A CSS takes 12 oz bottles. I just bought an IBC rootbeer out of one at an antique mall. The USS does cans and bottles. This one is a CSS. The big difference is that a CSS allows you to pull the bottle out from a little slot where the neck fits through, while a USS allows you to turn a round crank knob that tips either a can or a bottle into an empty space.
This picture is a CSS and I bet it is from 1971-1973 era

Thanks Dan - It is in fact a CSS-8-64 (according to the seller). Now that I know it'll take 12oz, I think I'll push a little harder.

I LOVE it!!! That cracked me up... but it is so true.
My 6 hour trip today ended up being a 8 1/2 hour drive in reality.
But it was still worth it. 
Thank goodness for audiobooks on my iPod. They make the ride SOOOO much easier and quicker.

Hey
I solved that drive to pick up coke machines. I sent my 16 year old son & one of his football buddies! Two high school boys on a road trip across the state of SC to pick up a Vendo 126.

The reserve was $500!!! Obviously a disconnect between the seller and me (the only bidder). Told them good luck and call me if they decide to come back down to earth.

Totally delusional reserve. If it was a USS, maybe, but for a CSS in average condition, you're right to take a pass. They'll be calling you in about five days or so...

I looked at that machine also. I am in Utah and had about the same 6 hour drive. My wife won't let me get another machine until I finish the USS 8-64 that I am working on. Mine looked almost exactly like that when I started. Glad to find out that the reserve was too high. $500...ouch 
Hope they lower the price and give you a call.
