It is a model CSS64FS machine. The SS stands for Slant Shelf, and the FS stands for some kind of design feature, and it holds sixty-four bottles. When I was a kid, I thought bottle machines were the coolest thing. You could open the door and feel the bottles, but you couldn't remove one until you put the money in.
This machine required a new thermostat and a new flourescent bulb. I bought a new thermostat from a company called "Funtronics" which sells replacement and replica parts for all kinds of Coke machines (for restorers). They even answer questions for restorers like me; and did I have a lot of questions. They don't have a website, but do have a nice catalog. I bought a new bulb at our local Grainger. I had to to tinker with the coin mech to get it to work right, and also figured out how to change the settings to accept any denomination of coins from 0 to fifty cents. I kept it at 35 cents because the 35 cent sticker is very difficult to remove. It also makes change perfectly: all in nickels. The machine keeps all of my drinks nice and cool at all times. I have Coke bottles, ICB root beer, bottled water and Mike's Hard Lemonade, all available for 35 cents a bottle.
It's nice to have cold Coke available whenever I want it, and I keep it stocked at all times. Our local Walgreens had a special deal on Coke, so I bought about sixteen six packs to fill it up. Whenever I want some Coke, or we have friends or family over, Coke is available. . . . for 35 cents a bottle. Why am I so stingy? Coke isn't free, and if I make it free, the machine will be empty in no time. The money collected will go for more Coke.
To me, hearing the "clink!" of the bottles as they slide down when a bottle is removed is a very pleasant sound that reminds me of good times in my childhood. Coke tastes its absolute best coming out of an eight ounce bottle, and having a genuine Coke machine in our basement lounge (near our pool table) is. . . . . well, it's just such a neat thing to have in our house.
