I read that the 72 came with 2 sizes of font for the Coca Cola.

Is there one size of font that is more sought after?


What is a fair price range for a complete machine?



Thank You

$1500 fair or overpriced for a large scale letters 72?

      I made a road trip a few months back, and bought both of the above machines on the same day (75 miles apart) for $750.00 each.
      That doesn't mean yours is not a good deal Bill, but you really should be paying less for a 72 than you did for your 81.

Damn, ask and you shall receive. Nice quick work in getting that picture up Glen, great example. Too bad we can't turn back the clock 60+ years and have The Cavalier Corp. combine the two machines. Use the larger letters but have it centered like the smaller letter machine. Always thought the larger letter machine had the letters too close to the coin door, would be great if they had lifted it just a bit. Just being picky.

I paid 250.00 for mine but traded a Ideal 55 for a credit of 500.  So 750.00 was the price we got to.
