Not a bad deal, but what happend to the "a" in cola? It seems to be gone from the front door.

Good catch, I guess the sign someone installed wasn't big enough to cover the 'a'.  Wouldn't this be difficult to restore?  Someone must have hammered in then filled the embossed 'a'...

It can be restored, probably the easiest way would be to find a chest or cooler and cut it up for the "a"

Looks to me like it needs 2 letters, L and A.  I would never try and repair that logo.    Sad !!!!!!!

It looks like the coin mech is missing nickel and dime fingers as well as the barrier plate. No stack or shelves.

If CC lets the auction run until the end (I've seen him pull out just before the 12 hour limit), I bet someone takes it with a last minute $1200 bid - it won't be me though.

Good eye on the coin mech, I would like to have it but dont really have the money for another project, Seems the current projects are eating all that away.

Yep, he ended it early! He has a habit of that when the bidding isn't up to par.
