#1 Soda Jerk!

« on: December 11, 2012, 04:53:31 pm »

Just a couple of photos of my last acquisitions...
In the Junior/120 photo, I added the Stoner I bought in Chicago on the right side.
And in the cigarette photo, the three on the left are new.
All in all, I picked up four Seniors, two Juniors, 1 Stoner 120 and three National cigarette machines.

It was Tim.
He still has a few cigarette machines and a Westinghouse soda machine that was a little big for me...

Looks sweet, and good job. Those pics would look good in a calendar. I'd put money on the fact that you got the best of the lot even if you left a couple breadcrumbs behind for the locals!

Hi Jim,
A very impressive haul....I seen you work  and I really like how you keep the Stoners you restore more original then others ….especially painting them the correct “hammer-tone” finish and colors they came in.  Basic on seeing your work and with the info you proved…I painted my Senior “hammer-tone” Light Blue with Hammerite paint.  Thanks for sharing!!!
Also, I just was wondering what's your method of finding them…Craigslist, EBay, classified, estate sales, yard sales, networking, some kind of broker....etc or all of the above?
I got my senior from Tim, So I guessing I used networking…. but would also like to get a Junior one day.
Thanks,
Ray

Jim...

I have a few of the price/instruction plates for the Nationals if you are missing any. The ones that sit under the trim.
Bought a load a while back for my machines. Just got to remember where I put them..
