The bottom line
Scotsman C0530: $2,699–$3,869 observed used. Biggest documented cost risk: Cross. Verify the serial against the official recall notice first. Buy only after inspection.
Scotsman NS0922: Popular nugget-ice head with active OEM parts support (water level sensor ~$37, bin-level photo-eye sensor set ~$255); Scotsman's own service manual requires the photo-eyes and water probes to be manually cleaned twice a year and flags scale/blockage on either as a direct cause of overfill, no-ice, or bin-code faults, so confirm the ice level shuts off properly and the reservoir probes are clean before buying used.
