Hello everyone,
Just registered and obviously new to the site, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the value of a cavalier 27 that I just purchased? I like to get out and ride the backroads and came across this machine on a mans front porch back in the middle of nowhere. I offered him $400.00 for it and he took it. It looks great and is complete and running. Did I do good or screw up. I have never seen one like it. Thanks for the info!!

I took a couple of pictures and I will try to load them. Before judgement, you must understand that it had been sitting out on his porch in the weather for who knows how long, so that is how it got the surface rust on the lower front, but the inside looks very good with no rust. Be easy on me!!

Yes, I plan on it, I just don't know where to start. Thanks for the "Welcome". I have been interested in soda machines for a long time and am excited that I found a place to talk to other collectors about it. It is not on my wife's top 5 topics. I am going to this rediculously huge flea market in Nashville, Tn this weekend, maybe I will find something there. I have been there several times and if you take your time and look at everything, you might get through it in a weekend. It's that big!

That is known as the ship's wheel version of the C27. Very nice find! The condition is great, Very easy restoration. The only hard part is reinstalling the evaporator unit back into the machine. These were originally held in place by the cork seal that will have to be removed in order to remove the evap. unit.
