Just moving this topic to the appropriate Discussion Area...

If you could post a photo for us get to better idea of what the condition is, this would help us assist you...

Going blind into this would lead me to ask a few questions:
  1. Is the machine complete with no missing parts?
  2. Is there ANY rust, surface or rust holes?
  3. Does the refrigeration system currently work?
  4. Does the coin gear and vending mechanism function properly?

Thanks Jim, I'm kind of new at this.

These prices are assuming the machine is restorable and notjust parts:
Here's what I'm finding on 39s
Complete, nice orig, working - about $$900-1000
Complete, not working, surface rust only - $600-800
Incomplete (missing only 1 major component or, rusted but restorable $400-500
Incomplete, missing refrigeration and say bottle drum, $200-$250, major rust

Of course, your mileage may vary.

Thanks John,
The machine is in the #2 catagory, some surface rust, one small rusted out hole on the bottom of one side (about the size of a dome or smaller), no major dents, but everything is there and the lock is bad.
Thanks again, RJV
