So do you guy's think it's worth it or not. I haven't heard from the guy yet . Thought I might email him tonight if you guy's think it's worth messing with. I'm thinking about buying a Jacobs 26 instead .The one on ebay. The guy wants $980 to sell it local. What's it worth complete and cooling?

I would buy the Barq's machine over a Jacobs anyday. Jacobs are fairly common. I have never seen another Barqs 81

        Josh is right! Jacobs is not high on collector's lists
 
        A Jacobs might be round cornered, but it's not easy to display, it's non-embossed and is
only a single vend Coke machine.
       
         The Barqs might be a square corner machine, but it's a rare embossed square machine.
It will also be multi-vend when complete, and will be much easier to restore than a Jacobs. Not many flat top machines will make it to the history books...........but this one will.

         He got no bids in the auction, I'll bet he would rather entertain a $300.00 offer than
re-list it again.   drinking
         Go get it today, that Jacobs will  be available all year.

Hey Guys,
I bought the Machine last night after the auction closed... I missed the bidding as I usually wait till the end, but got busy and missed it.
I made him an offer on the Barqs and he accepted and I paypaled him today.
Brian Is picking it up for me next week and bringing it up my way when he comes to pick up a few machines near me.

i'll post plenty of photos when I get it...

I'm glad someone got it... I couldn't understand all the hesitation...

As the SAS say "He who hesitates is lost.."

Well done John I think its a smashing machine.. With your inventory you should have that
in ship shape in next to no time...
