Talking to a guy in Birmingham about this 27. Has missing drum only,,,he says. What would a drum cost,,ballpark and value as is,,ballpark ??

Why are these always missing the drums?

I've seen them sell from 300.00 up to 500.00 to give you an idea.

and that's a ballpark for complete machine less drum ? or drum price range ??

I know these pics he sent aren't much but any others who may have a clue on value on machine without drum and cost of drum ? Thanks

         Besides the drum, it is missing most of the rollers and probably the indexing mechanism.

         The cabinet and stand are quite collectible but it will be easier to find a whole parts machine like a 33, than to find a drum alone.

Just a guess - I think the drum is going to run you something in the area of $400-$500.  I don't think any of the major parts suppliers has them available as a new part.  

For the machine missing the drum, and a lot of the supporting 'guts'... if the compressor and coin mech are present, I'd say maybe $400-ish.  

If you are not looking for a functional machine, it looks nice as a display piece.  Otherwise, I suspect finding a replacement drum and rollers will be a significant challenge.

Hey,,thanks for the info. Had done a little history check on Ebay and the 400 to 500 range for drum alone is right on. I may offer him 300 and see what he says. Thanks again for the information folks. Appreciate it.

Rebel, it's a Pepsi, but what about this? He claims it's working. No stand though, not that I can see anyway. $895

If you do get it, I know a guy who would gladly trade you all the parts you need including the drum in exchange for the pipe stand  lol
