Looks like it is missing the top case. That's the most important part as far as I'm concerned.
I think $2500.00 is a fair price, $4000.00 is a bit high.
Something I noticed on Rick's machine was that it didn't seem to have the counter weights. It may not have truoble vending while full but won't drop when it gets low.

It just shows you that the "Ricks Show" is killing the market. No way she will get $4k. Lucky to get $2500. There are still good deals out there, but people think their stuff is worth tons now, due to the inflation of machines on these shows.

. So then she will either sit on it or have to drop her price, right? If nobody pays her asking price then the show only inflates the $ in the seller's mind. |

Just spoke with the owner and she stated that Ron dale, rick's brother, has bought the machine for $3200. The top display is gone, no coin mech. and the evap. fan does not work. Other than that, she said everything is there. They purchased this machine new and actually had 2 of them. Sold the other one 8 yrs ago for $2900. Nice lady. I will let you know if anything changes.

Marvin, I'd mention it also has the "rare" display top. I don't think the one on <won't mention the show's name> had it. In my opinion it puts the machine on the cool factor scale
good luck to you!

Please take a look at my restored Milk Machine in Ken Cerra's Stuff in the photo gallery. There was a long and drawn out story about Rick Dale casting studio wanting to contract with me to restore this machine about 9 months ago. I told him thanks but no thanks after he quoted me $65000 to restore plus I pay for round trip shipping plus I pay for my round trip airfare. Then he dropped the resto price to $3000 and the show would pay shipping and airfare. They wanted me to fly in and return the same day, no hotel costs. I asked their casting studio, how could this schedule be possible when it would take him certaintly more than one day to film and complete the restoration. No answer was given. I told them to forgetaboutit!
The whole show is a sham!!!!

I might be willing to pay $4500, but I just don't have the cash right now. The price seems reasonable IMO, particularly for that condition. |

Hello John,
Thanks for your comments. I sought of acted as the GC and subcontracted out the work locally including sandblasting, painting, pinstriping, chroming etc. I put a little personality into the design. I did all the assembly and wiring myself. The biggest challenge was having the weights casted from a pattern, and having the hardware fabricated. I was fortunate to find a small local foundry who agreed to do the casting.
I really enjoyed the hands on approach of coordinating the project etc. I don't have the facitities or the expertise to do handle a turnkey project by myself.

These things are popping up everywhere now. The good new is... I bought this one! Can't wait to get it back here. He says it's an all original machine with working compressor and coin mech. He also said he has a cigarette machine for sale and a few other antiques i might be interested in. Hmmm.... I might have to take a few extra green stamps with me.  |

This guy said he's been in the vending machine business since 1962 and still had a few machines left in his basement. He saw the episode of american restorations and said "hey, i have one one those machines" I'm going to try and sell it. Seems like a great guy and was really interested in how I got into collecting soda machines. He said the top display was damaged while moving the machine so they just tossed it. Hopefully, it wont be too hard to fabricate another on. Can't wait to go pick it up.

I could use a top also. Jim if you have the art work for the oval piece I would be interested in it. I have a guy screening and making the glass for the top piece. He should have them done this month.

Sorry for the delay!
I have preliminary artwork for this marquee...
Meaning it was sent to me as a Photoshop file, but I have not converted to a vector based image which is much cleaner and better...
I would need to have accurate measurements of all dimensions including white and yellow line thickness, gray thickness, etc, etc...
If someone has a nice original that may not be installed, the actual measurements may be easier to obtain.
If I had all the measurements, I could then create an accurate marquee for reproduction.
