What model?

[halehouse]

Just wondering how heavy this actually is.  6 1/2 feet tall.

I think its a 144... Others will know for sure... Are you jumping on it??

[halehouse]

Ah, you are correct.  I emailed. It is fairly close by.

Maybe an offer of $75 would make the hard work of moving the machine worth the purchase...
Does this machine have a crank handle...?
It almost looks as if a VMC-88 coin door/coin mech is on this machine...?

...  ....  ...

After a quick reference check, it appears to be a VMC 144-M which for $75, alright a $100, might good to part out...

      When these old beasts come to us in the under $100.00
range and are local, we have to buy them.....that's our job!

       Sounds like you can name your price, bring it home and strip the
Pepsi sign coin door and other parts, then junk it. If you don't pick it up
it will probably go directly to junk

Just got an email, "Just sold it". 

[Gumbo]

Dan-- it wasn't me or you so, Who got it?

[davethebirdman]

Might havebeen worthwhile sticking something like that in the "who's bidding" cat... I think access for that is only available to members.

I'm sure there are many people who just look and wait for someone to post a good lead... Then bang they get it...

"He who hesitates is lost..." Or maybe the SAS motto "Who dares wins".

Yeah, I guess I could have put it under that discussion board.

On something like Craigslist, all you can do is email them and wait for them to email you back, unless they post a phone #.

     If someone bought it to restore or just to use it..............
I think he is the loser 

     So many cool machines around, we need to leave these big
boys to the beginners.
