I drove down a street and seen a old machine out of the corner of my eye sitting out in the back yard. The next day I stopped and asked if it was for sell. The guy said give me $50 and it yours. Seems he just moved it out to the yard to make room in his garage. Took it home and cleaned it up a bit and plugged it in. Low and behold it worked!! I filled the change holder with a few nickels and popped in a quarter and it gave me 2 nickels back....cool that worked too. It cools to 37º and even came with 1 key that works too. SO...What does a CS-96E go for?¿?

Cool, I love finding stuff like that. I'd guess it's worth a few hundred. Go to greedbay to get a better idea. Either way $50 is cheap.

That goes to show you that you never know where these machines will pop up!
Good Find and good luck with it!

What would it cost to get this machine back to better then new condition (ballpark of course). As I have stated it cools to 37º everything works even lock w/key. Just slight surface rust and a the door light and the small price sign light don't work but I haven't tried new bulbs yet. Oh and the glass door is cracked but intact so it doesn't loose temp. Looking to make this a permanent fixture in my house (not the garage). Thanks, B

Oh and does the bottle holder detract from the value? Is this original(normal) find to have one? matter just as a "want to know". Don't plan on selling it.....ever;) Well unless I find someone with way too much money.

Assuming that it's fundamentally sound and you can do the work yourself I'd say $250 for paint and maybe $150 in various parts. If that bottle rack is rusty and you can sandblast it yourself, add $100 for powdercoating (heck, if the galvanizing on the shelves isn't good you could get them done as well). Clearly a perfect restoration would cost more, possibly quite a bit more, It really depends on your goals.

Nice Find ! 
You can't go wrong with $50.00 for a working machine! the lack of a lightup sign is in my book worth $100.00 less than the same machine with one (all things being equal)Well the rack in my opinion is a plus, it's nice to have a place to hang the emptys!
