Supposed to be complete. Cools and vends. Pics of the outside look nice.
What's it worth? How hard are they to resell (I don't plan to keep it)?

That's the delux version with the embossed signs, silver top, storage de-bossing on
handle and ice cold on the front. As far as price... Hmmmm..... Check eBay to see
going prices there... check completed auctions there also seems there were a few
a week ago....
Looks nice and they are a great size machine......... Keep us posted.

I couldn't find any recent sales on ebaY. I did receive a few more details and pics from the seller.

| I did plug it in and it still works I am sure it could use a little freon. The mechanisim appears to be all there, but I can not get the top to turn. The rubber seal on the top is even in perfect condition. I think there is maybe a little mechanisim trouble, or the spining top needs oil because it feels like it wants to turn. I see no massive rust or corosion to keep it from turning. |

Seller said she was looking to start at $600 but I get the sense that she's willing to deal to get rid of it?
Can someone please tell me what they think these things are worth? or if you have a Wwalters book what he says?
Thanks!

Thought it was a little high then .And they seam to be selling in that range even now $800 -- $1200.For the standard Model like mine .I beleive the Deluxe Model is worth $200 --$300 more by the book ?

Ok thanks guys... I may need to get a copy of that book... Up until now I've been a slant-shelf guy so haven't had the need.

I can't tell if that's the deluxe version. Is that decal lettering or is it embossed? I would guess any where from $400 - $700 if it wasn't for the dent in the embossed area. If it's a decal take $50 off. It's a nice that it appears it is complete.

no problem - I appreciate the input. The seller is bringing it over in about 30 minutes. Expect I'll be buying it.

Ok I bought it. I plan to sell it. Anyone want it?
Refrigeration is as cold as Minnesota in winter. Can't believe how quiet these machines are with no fnas. Body would need to be painted for a complete restoration but despite a couple of scrapes and dings I think it'll shine up very nicely without. Vending mech will need some clean-up... works sometimes but not always.
