 "This machine does have a ding or two and a scratch or two."

When seller is telling you that then I would say no. Nice machine though.

Not original enough!!
Replacement compressor, bottle decals and the cap catcher & coin box should be galvanized metal like the coin chute.
Nice, but pass! I am local though if anybody wants me to check it out for them....

The new cooling unit would be a deal breaker for me.....especially if I was in the market for a nice/mint "original" machine.  I also like the stock/factory look so not a big fan of extra decals, pin-striping etc.  Nice paint though!

   I've dealt with this seller several times, he knows these machines well!
      I'm not sure why he would fit a modern compressor into the existing deck, rather than slide in a compressor from a
Vendo 80, 110, 90 or 63. He seems to be losing a lot of points because of it!
