Could I get some help with an ID on this machine. The old lady next door is selling it and we want to offer her a fair price on it. Thanks in advance!

1960 -70 westinghouse WB-78-B4 one of coca colas first "can" vending machines, they created a new system that would allow for the machine to vend cans instead of bottles. The system before this was a knob selector, to which they updated to buttons on this one. They're a nice unit to have and fairly reliable, they don't go for much around 200 to 300 for decent condition. 500 plus is near perfect with all manuals and paperwork and things, so I'd say if it works and its in good condition offer about 200 and have a fun piece of cake history. You can get a manual for it online for about 3 bucks if you look up that model name, and any other info you can find as well. Here's a couple links that can help.
