Mattallyn:
Congrats on your aquisition! I have the same machine, and I love mine.
The CSS-96F is commonly referred to as a Cavalier Slant Shelf Coke Machine and was manufactured in the early to mid 60's (Jim, check me on this). While it's one of the larger versions of this series, I think it has a great classic look and you can't beat that flourescent lighted sign!
I don't have any value guides on the subject but I always considered a restored example of a CSS-96F to be worth in the $1000-$1500 range.
Call Steve at Fun-Tronics (see supplier section of this site) for a reproduction service manual for the "F" series slant shelf machines. He also has door keys, decals and some restoration parts.
Email me if you have any other questions. Enjoy!
Kyle
