Got my 1st machine--Cavalier CSS-64

[Judd7]

Got off CL.Guy was asking $125.Paid $100,plus it had .35 in machine,so only $99.65 :biggrin:Coin mechs work,gets really cold,its quiet.Just gave it a quick wipedown.Only problem--no lights.Bulb replacement didn't do it.Also,how do I get inside Coke sign,didn't want to force it off.I plan on painting it Coke red at some point.Any help or direction would be great!!Thanks--J.D.

What A deal! Looks clean and straight... A LOT of Square top guys here... can help you with the
color paint you need, how to remove the wood  grain, decals and images. Just ask... sure someone
can post a picture of this in Coke red and white with decals to give you an idea of what she can
become! Great score! congrats!

    To remove the plexiglass sign, open the coin door and remove 2 screws from
the bottom of the sign frame, then pry it out from the bottom since there are
2 locating pins at the top.

Nice score! These machines look great with a fresh coat of paint and new decals. Check this out. This is the exact same machine as yours and it once started out looking a lot like your machine.

Thanks for the help on the sign.Does Wal-Mart sell that bulb size or is that a speciality bulb(no markings at all on mine).Already have taken shelves out--cleaned and hammerpainted them.They look great!!I'm sure I will have tons of questions to come later.Again--THANKS!!

Also, what is it worth in present condition?Not going to sell,just wondered.

To All--Wanted to share some pics of my machine with a new paint job.I think it turned out OK.Now all I need is some decals for it.Where is the best place to buy them?Thanks for any info--J.D.
