Lonewolf121, here is the picture again. I don't know what happened to the other post. Anyway, the machine is in fine shape, keeps bottles very cold, but the paint is a bit worn. Let me know if you think I'm making a good deal!
Thanks! Terry

This is where things get interesting, B. J. Summers guide to Coca-Cola has this listed at $400.00 in mint condition. B.J. Summers, in most circles is also regarded as an idiot. For an example he has the v81 in mint condition listed at $500.00. http://cgi.ebay.com/320589818432 If the link does not work just enter the numbers in the ebay search bar. See my point? That v81 is trashed and had 15 bids at $1350.00 when I wrote this. Personally I would not take a penny less then $800.00 for this machine alone, and you might get even more. My guess is the person who threw down that offer to you was trying to get the sign for free. Hope this helps, wish you the best, Lonewolf.
Thank you both. I thought the machine was worth much less than that. There seems to be a lot of V23's out there. Anyway, you've been so much help to me!
I have a V23. Cools great, Turn dial on top spins perfectly. 5 cent turn dial works great. Has some rust at the bottom front. What is it's worth. Thanks.
