The Cavalier model CS-72 (for 72-bottle dispensing capacity) was only produced between 1958-59. Its popularity was due to the fact that it could dispense practically any size bottle, with its slant shelf design (each shelf holding eight bottles). Further, its unique design for the time had no crank handle to release the bottles; a bottle was released for removal once the proper change was deposited. This machine is in mint and fully functional condition, having been fully restored. The CS-72 was commonly restored to resemble its rival, the "Vendo 81," with a full white top. Original CS-72s came with all white front doors, red cabinet and white top. Shipping will be expensive for this item.
