Title: Hot C-72
Post by: MoonDawg on October 19, 2007, 02:19:48 pm
     Body shop got burglarized for his Coke machine !!!  :veryangry:

     I wonder if it was before or after it was painted?

     If a bare cabinet shows up soon, we know where it came from.

Joey gave me this tip yesterday.. I have a complete Body for a CS 72, except for coin door so this is exactly what I'm looking for...

I contacted the seller and she will deliver the parts to chicago for me for $140.00 in NOvember... so I'm going after this one and bidding as I could have a complete CS 72 for low money..

AND NO.... I did not steal the body from here body shop... mine came from Shoreview MN.

 :biggrin:

Thanks
John

What a plan travel all that way and swipe the box and then wait for the owner to put the spare parts up on ebay,  now that is a guy with a plan :glare:

 :laugh:
Ha ha... not quite... but I did bid and should have went higher, but figuring 140.00 for delivery the stuff to me in chicago. I still would have had about $600 into it, still not bad, but didn't like the way the Cooling unit looked... just laying there.. I'm sure it sprung a leak with all that twisting and such..

Just too many aother things going... I am going to be listing the shell tonite and see if I can get something for it.

      I don't see $430.00 in value. Door liner and shelves may be OK.
I agree the compressor will need work, but it's easier to get one
from a C-64.  Bottle stack could be made by cutting down a 96.
       All his rubber and glass and faceplate was to be replaced
anyways. The wiring harness could also come from a square corner
machine, and the door hardware is reproduced.

      ( Maybe the high bidder is also the owner of the cabinet)?    :help:
