If you can't get into the machine, push the coin return to see if theres a coin mec in it. You will be able to feel preasure when pushing in on the coin return. That away you will know if theres a mec.

To me, the chase is most of the fun. Just don't get your hopes up, take a look and you will gain experience for the next one. 

There are some really cool cigarette machines out there, and we all can't drive a ferrari, but for what you would have into this one, you could have been driving one. When you are done, you will still have a really nice ford escort of cigarette machines.

FYI, This is from a guy who put $15,000 (and hundreds of hours) into a $6500-8500 car, it was a tough lesson to learn and I would not have listened if someone had told me not to do it. If you start with a 1968 fairlane, no matter how much you throw at it, you will still have a 1968 fairlane!!! I could have doubled my money, not halved it, if I would have started with a mustang GT.

Just an FYI on the Candy machine.  It is National Crown seventy two series.  I still have a brochure
on them.

If the fire station wants to make go up to a $1.30 vend.  I have what it needs.
Also an electric conversion unit that will go to $ 6.35 for it.

So I ended up getting the FAwn machine for $50 then spent $25 to have a key made......BUT when I got it opened I found a complete carton of vintage KOOLS which it looks like I could sell on ebay and recoup all my money  

I've started to clean up the machine, as you can see on the white portion.

I filled it with candy and bubblegum cigarettes so everyone can enjoy it.
