That's a bit steep IMO. I would hold out for a USS model so you can dispense cans or bottles. Should be around the same price.

If you can stand the ugly factor  tounge    ( any Cavalier USS models are not one of my favorite models if you didn't guess, but they are versatile vendors, too bad the bottle door is so darn clunky looking, I really like the CS models more )

Any way, how did you determine it's was manufactured in '63? the funny thing is that the style star sign is more of a 1965 vintage, so if your serial no. reads 1963, I assume the sign was a transplant. I also agree that it's still too much dollar wise...

The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p

Agreed 100% the bottle doors on the USS machines are very ugly!

       And  this later style 64 deviated from the red and white look the earlier ones had.

Not sure how the seller identified it as a '63.

The ad wasn't very detailed "Coke classic 1963 machine fully functional for sale".

 I would go for a USS-64 8 selections, it's a good daily driver that will be used allot and you can pretty it up with removing the wood grain etc....
