You definitely need to get over and look it over. If it is complete and it works I would get it.
Don't forget to make him a lower offer just to see if you can get it for even less.
Good luck

Since it has a stack rather than a drum, it should be able to vend cans.
That machine is a good buy at anywhere under $500.

I don't believe there is enough room for cans to fall through the rocker arms. I use to use 8 oz Michelobs, when I was a kid. That's all that would fit in there. They were a little short and would jam after awhile. I tried little Millers but the bottles were a hair too wide. You could file down the ears on the vending rockers, but I chose not to do that. They are cool looking machines. It is my favorite machine as far as looks goes. Right up there with the Mills 400C.

I think I was 19 or 21, which to me, is a kid. I don't recall, too long ago.
