I'm just going to buff and wax it and clean the seals. The guy I got this from bought it 20 years ago in a yard sale. The guy selling it worked for coke and had 2 machines for sale at that time. He knew what he was doing because all the seals had a protective coating on them keeping them from drying out and soft. I set it for 25 cents and got a new door bulb this afternoon. I paid 300 for it not sure if that's too much but I wanted a machine that was in good working order and was a good example of a original machine.

Got the machine cleaned up buffed and waxed, coils cleaned. It looks real nice in my garage. I fully stocked it now I have to make sure not to drink too much soda. I set it for .25 cents.

MY USS-96 has the dark wood grain, and I'll admit at first I didn't like it, but in time it grew on me. It got that 70's feel (as bad as some of it was)

I remember these machines as a kid so it works for me. I do like the earlier machime better. While I was cleaning it the inside box has the date that steel was made by USS steel corp in 74. I also found the little round sticker next to the data plate saying union made. I love that's it's all American made product and made to last a long time. I'm big into US products. I post some more pic's later today. Cleaning the garage up now.

For $300.00 bucks I think you got a good deal, and it looks great too.
