I have a line on the small six selection selectomatic for $450. Seller says it's operating and in good shape. It is local so I can go look to confirm.
$450 seems pretty high. Anyone bought one lately? Is it listed in the book?
The description in sodea machines section says it hold 6oz bottles. Anyone know whether or not it'll hold 12oz bottles?
Thanks in advance.

I had one and I for the life of me can't remember what size it vended. I'm guessing it would vend at least a 10 ounce because of it's time of production. Someone else might know. As for as it being worth $450, well that's a tough one. You couldn't be sure you'd get your money back tomorrow but in a year or two you sure could. So if you like it go for it, especialy if it vends 12 ouncers! About the time you hedge on these marginal ones someone else jumps on them because it was so clean!

BryanH,
I've only seen a few of these in the past that were all beat up. This one appears to be in good shape. Not sure of it's value but it will only go up. If your looking for a selector machine and everything checks out to be good I would buy it.  '>

They only vend 6 oz bottles. 10 of each flavor in 6 stacks.

Ok thanks - I like the selecto's but the 6oz size is too much of a pain for me. I'm going to pass.

What I think that means is if you used the 6 oz. bottles it will hold 66. I had a Westinghouse WC-102MD and there was an adjustment in the back of each stack that could slide forward for small bottles and backwards for larger bottles. I am pretty sure that it will vend 12 ounce bottles.

No problem - sometimes the specs aren't necessarily the only option. Like the Cav USS's: if I remember they spec 10oz (most likely 'cause that's what was around then) but they can handle 12 oz long necks.
