Title: Anyone Know what this is???

Found this in Italy. The seller would consider shipping it. Not sure what costs would be involved but there would be no duty etc.

It is a Cavalier 51, but it is a square cornered machine - strange!!!
I have never seen a square corner Cav51 - I wonder if it is original?

It almost looks like someone has created a hybrid machine... could it be a European knock-off?

The evaporator in the 51 is located behind the ammo belt (left side as you are looking at the machine).  It is also covered with a piece of metal.  The evap fan then blows down across the coils.

The coin door is also different than a roundtop 51.  Compare the positions of the bottle opener slot and coin return cup.  The door on this one looks wider.

First I've ever seen , very unique, could be along th esame lines as the other transitional machines when they went from roundcorners to squarecorners, It's a bit pricey, but you'd have a one of a kind, Jim should attempt to contact the owner & get some pictures for the gallery for sure! or maybe Davethe birdman could inquire being he's on that side of the pond?
