Anybody know of any websites/forums that cater for vintage gumball machines.
I've got a few of these & it would be good to find somewhere like this, but specificaly for the old gumballs.
Thanks, Gaz.

The SMC boards is probably the best place. I am an avid collector/restorer for many vintage gumball machines. Several others on this forum own and collect the occasional "good deal" machines. Would be glad to discuss any gumball related topics.

Roger at crowriver.com might know of one.. but I agree there are several here also that have a few sitting beside their soda machines
I've had several, Simpson Jr., Northwesterns, Oaks, Columbus, etc... The Chicago coin op show is great for these too.

Yep, that's what I thought. I know they're quite popular in the States, thought there would be more online resourcees.
Got a few myself, Northwesterns, Fords etc, but they're a bit hard to come by here in England.

That's a Negative on the Zeno. I haven't run across a good deal on one yet. It's on my list as well.

Just found your thread.....

SPFGUM at AOL dot Com.
Good luck....

Dave
There is a decent origonal coming up at Preston Evans Oppurtunities Auction in Georgia later this month. Check it out on the web. It was actually a friend of mines piece. I went to buy if from him and he already entered it in the auction. If you want to bid on it, I can get it brought to me at the chicago show, and I'll ship it to you for cost. My employee discount is 75% off published rate for Fedex. Let me know, if your not interested I may bid on it.

Hi Ya Tom.
Thanks for thinking about me and you offer of shipping at cost is very much appreciated.. However, with the $1000 I just spent on the Jigsaw and hopefully the Gas Pump too my funds for toys are sereverly limitted at the moment.
