Dole Super value?

[Kaleid20]

I know Im all over the place here, but just trying to get educated on the dispensers.

Got another lead on a Dole Super, probably my favorite so far. She's willing to go $350 on it. I figured these were the more desirable of the dispensers, but also harder to get working.

Needs to be complete.. that little tray for the glass looks home made... it is not correct.... it should be out of stainless and have a small grate with it... also there will be a syrup tank within the tank
which should have a lid and metal plunger...
I have seen these go over $500 on ebay check completed listings... best way to get idea of price.

I paid $300 just for the stand about five or six years ago. Great display piece.

Any more pictures of the Super? It looks like a nice one at least on this side.
I would like to see a close up of that homemade drip pan and front.  Doesn't look too bad considering.

And there is a   Coke Emblem on the back that is often missing and hard to  find

Ok, so I got the Dole Super finally. The drip lip is not there, it was indeed refabricated as seen. I may have a line on an original, but if any of you have one you can part with please let me know.

Stuntpilot, if you were standing in front of this dispenser and wanted to get it working can you give me a step by step (for morons) how you would get this thing working. I'm fairly committed to getting it working, so this could end up being worthy of a pinned thread.

Apologies on the pics. My DROID takes terrible low light pics and I hate using a flash. The paint on this dispenser is terrific aside from the patina in a few spots on both sides. There's a lot of glare on the paint, so nevermind that. No major rust at all.

Score for that price!

Kaleid,
         If you remove the homemade drip pan and face plate assembly you will see a 1/2 inch male pipe thread fitting underneath the dispenser, this is your soda water inlet fitting.

         You will need to get a stainless steel fitting with a barbed end to connect to that inlet fitting along with a length of braided tubing which will connect to your carbonator. This also requires a special washer.
         You will also need a carbonator, CO2 tank and regulator.
         Let me do some searching for that fitting and I'll get back with a link.
         You can connect a brass fitting to the the inlet if you wish to test it for leaks with plain water.  Just rig up a hose of some kind.

         The other tube coming out the bottom is the drain tube for the ice bin.
         Syrup goes into the top tank, I hope you got the float that goes in the tank.  
        
         Post some pics of the syrup tank with the lid off and underneath the dispenser with the drip pan off so I can see the fitting and float.
         Show me a close up of the nozzle area where the soda comes out so I can see if you have the syrup orifice.
