Question
Hi my sister has an old coke machine in her basement that she would like to find out the value of. It is made by Cavalier Corp. Serial # 184126. She has taken out the insides of the machine that holds the bottles, I think at one time she was going to try an get it running. Thank you, Leslye
tried to send an image but wouldn't fit. Usually if I can send it through regular e-mail it will work.

Answer
I found you Cavalier C-51 using your photo's. It was made in the 50's and has a average condition value of $650.00 and a restored value of $2,250.00. I'l be forwarding information to you via your email.

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can. Please email photo's to: jackpot7@ix.netcom.com My web site is at: http://www.coinslots.com

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
