Title: Cavalier what? Model?
Post by: Gumbo on June 27, 2008, 09:20:32 pm
What model cavalier is this? 1970's? If followed me home the other day.It is in rough shape, but someone could get some parts off it. I'm into round tops so this one will go on ebay soon. If someone here wants it, PM me. It is pick up only and will let go very, very cheap!

Thats a USS-8-64. You need a few shelves and a change bucket, but it looks good. That will vend cans and bottles.  Mid 70's?? I've got 2 CC's, but no Pepsi...

Looks like a heck of a catch there Gumbo   8).
The coin box and maybe the shelves check with Coke and stuff (Joey)
I think he had a coin box and a few shelves.

       Joey sent me that set of shelves but I don't need them all, I have 4 to spare.
I'm into roundtops too, but this is definately a S.T. of interest.

Well Gumbo...I came across this thread looking for some info on my new machine...a seemingly unknown Cavalier machine...the inside serial # is USS-8-48.

(Pretty much a USS-8-64 right? What's the difference?)

Once I was able to log in again, the pics finally loaded.  I'm the one who bought this machine from you this weekend (Tom)!!!!!! 

Well, after ripping apart my hands fixing the mouse-trap hinges, replacing the glass and the compressor fan, and two new light bulbs, I'm happy to say it's cooling at a nice 36 degrees and about to be going back into use.  I've got it set to 10c vend.

So, now I just need to get my hands on 5 shelves (anyone help out on that?)

That is what mine says too.  USS-8-48.  Pretty much the same. 8-48 is listed in the manual, but if there is a difference, I forget what it is.
