ya but If I get it for 100 bucks..?  I just got out of my last hobby and I need something to do.....quick. I am one of those people who always need a project to do

If you are that bored, my house is always under eternal construction.... It appears to become a new hobby for me....  '>

I agree with Moondawg. Don't buy something just to buy it. It will cost you double what the machine is worth to complete it. If the entore cooling system is gone you will have to find a replacement. the 51 uses a unique cooling system where the evaporator is in the back of the machine so if it is missing you will have to find another 51 to replace it with. Also you are looking at $300 to $400 to replace the ammo belt. Another deal will come your way. Just be patient. If you really want to get some machines I suggest you run an ad in the local newspaper. It worked for me. I bought more than 50 or 60 machines in two years from a newspaper ad and craigslist ad.

I am running a local ad in craigs list now. I will take your advice.

I've got  a C51  and I still have not restored the darn thing ,  It's not like it is missing any thing , I 've rechromed all the chrome  it is half way broke down, Every time I look at it, I look for something else
to start working on   .  My opinion those are a pain in
the '>   and they really don't work well in the game room because all they can take is the small coke bottle's .
  maybe next year it will get done( then it will be just a show peace at the office)

I didnt know that. Any machine I am going to invest time into must vend bottles and cans

[coke_and_stuff]

Well if thats the case 98% of your roundtops are out, 56, 81 110s all vend bottles. If I understand correctly a 44 or 88 an be adapted to vend one or the other.

Was your previous hobby Reef Aquauims ? Sorry the butcher job on the spelling !!

[SquareTopCollector]

yes, a great hobby but I will be moving several times over the next 4-5 years and I just dont have it in me to build a reef just to break it down again. I sold everything at pennies on the dollar. I still have my equipment minus the tank so that’s all that matters

[SquareTopCollector]

here are a few photos of the reef before it was taken down












I miss it already
