This popped up on Craigslist this morning, one town over.  Went to go check it out, looks like it was repainted by Pepsi (or someother second hand).  Looked complete but the cord was pretty frayed, so I couldn't test it out.

Got it home and put on a new cord and gave it a quick test, compressor fired up and coils got cold.  After I figured out how to actually put the bottles in it, it was vending without any problems.  Was always interested in a Selectomatic machine, and looks like I got a good one!  Going to give a good cleaning and lube, and see what happens from there.

And the price?  $80!

Neat machine. I also kind of like the pepsi paint job on it. Would look even cooler with one of those 3d pepsi signs although I don't know of them making any of those for that machine since I think it was a coke machine.
