Ya, I'd actually like to put it to use, so a working coin mechanism is a must - preferrably with the ability to reconfigure for multiple price capability. Not to mention the ability to detect/accept Canadian coins (we use both a $1 and $2 coin). Being ale to dispense both cans and bottles in a single configuration would also be very important (water bottles).

Those old Coke machines (Cavalier model) are hard to come by. If they're an original red+white (as opposed to one repainted with both colours) then they're very rare. Found a site last week belonging to some Coke collector documenting his.
