just pick up another machine last night at the same garage sale that I have found my coin mech at,  picture to  come soon....

Great!! The USS-64 is a good machine to have since it can vend just about anything. I have restored several of these so if you need any info or pictures just let me know.

the restoration of this machine will be done later because for now i'm restauring my vendo 56

but here is some picture

let's go with the comment

Nice! I think that is the first French one I have seen.
Thanks,

      First thing I have to say, is someone should have warned you this hobby was
addicting :biggrin:
      Secondly, your new machine is a CSS-8 64.........much more desireable than a USS-64 or your Vendo 56 because it will vend less expensive cans of soda.
      Thirdly.....when we find a machine as nice as your Cavalier,we might re-paint
the woodgrain coin door...but other than that, we keep it original. Yours is NICE! :drinking:

Wep welcome to Quebec ;) here is were I live everything is in french

thanks for the advise it'S like a drug  :help: just joking
 :blush: my mistake for the model tanks and like I said i'm not ready for a restoration i'm all ready in a restoration with my vendo

The new machine isa USS-64. It is the CSS that only vends bottles.  But, Moondawg is right, so much nicer since it vends cans as easily as bottles.

Great score MoonDawg is right it is addicting  :biggrin:  The good news is your
with the right support group  :laugh:.

  The Cav's USS64 are a nice machine and like loman4ec said he has done a ton of these
and he is right  :smile: if you need to know something about them he is the man.

With some custom paint they look really good too here are two that I did a while back.

 Hey Josh is the one in the top photo and the bottom photo
the same machine ?   I like the Ice cold  on the bottom
that really set that off  8)  a really good idea  :smile:.

They are two different machines. Thanks I really liked the first machine. that ras my first restoration and my first upright machine. It is was in my college apartment.We held poker tournaments on a regular basis and that machine vended a lot of bud light in its day. Everyone loved getting beer from an old Coke machine. We kept it on free vend and let people stock it up with the beer that they brought. We also would usually have a keg on tap from the Cornelius compact 50 that we converted into a kegerator.

Nice USS-8-64!  I have the exact same one with the exception of the French on the side.  It is the first machine in my collection and I am keeping my woodgrain just the way it is; however, the custom paint jobs that I have seen from some of the other guys on the sight look fantastic!  I may have to get another one and do it up with a unique theme.  I love the machine because it is compact and versatile in what it can vend.

Welcome to the hobby--as everyone has said--it is addicting!  But it keeps us out of trouble!

This hobby gets me in more trouble... Everytime I bring a new machine home, I'm in the doghouse..

I like the USS-64 machines as well. I've got 2 right now. One as a daily use, one waiting to put a new compressor in.

thanks everyone for the comment and it's true it getting in trouble twice in 2 week how
 :help: I thing I need to see the doctor ?? loll

I love this hobby and can wait to finish my frist machine

The USS-64 is one of my favort. Here is one I did in MOXIE. Memory Lane Restorations.
