I love getting others into this hobby... My uncle has decided he wants a machine, and is out to find one with a vengeance.

      Nice machine but the wiring is horrible, has 2 power cords
comming out the back.
      The worst part is that saddle valve clamped in a location
that is seen immediately as you open the door. Some guys take
no pride in their workmanship.

Whats the reason for the 2 power cords? Once for compressor, one for fans?

I saw the saddle valve, but expecting to rebuild the cooling system anyway.

     I suspect that 1 power cord is strictly for the bottle door light.

I don't think it is two power cords - I believe the plug end is just stuck back in the hole of the cabinet - there is a line tied in connecting the light.

On another note - anybody notice the Cavalier33 7Up behind it?

Good eye Tom! This guy buys and sells machines on ebay.. The machine is at $1100 and still on reserve... What's a good price for this machine? I've got some interest in it...

It looks like a nice candidate for restoration!
Appears to be complete... I would think that someone buying/selling on greedbay would want top dollar meaning the reserve may be in the $1800+ range...
I would think a reasonable price is around $1300 - $1500
Just my opinion...

Remember, I'm referring to prices that exchanged hands on greedbay!
I thought the machine didn't look that bad, perhaps I miss judged the condition...  It did appear to be complete down to the coin box and the bottom of the liner looks good as well... All in all, a good box to restore.

      I believe Jim was right on the money! But this might be
just the machine for your Uncle. The coin mech. is clean, the vents
are not kicked in or rusted, no holes in the sides from a water
fountain or bottle rack, the floor is rust free meaning the drain
has always been clear so water has not penetrated through the
seams of the inner liner and rusted the floor of the cabinet and
part of the lower back wall, a problem most 81's have.

       This machine has original paint, and it is my guess that a good
cleaning and buffing would make it very displayable. (A restoration is
nice but doesn't Bubba still have a V-63 in pieces)?     help
