I did not know they were making Stoners back in aught five!  If you look at the second picture, it looks like the bottom is missing our of the base.

Not exactly a quick fixer upper!

Let's see:

Soda blast
Paint
New Mirror
New Ad Glass
Clean up and/or replace plastics
Set of chrome trim for mirror--good luck
Locate a "Fresh Candy" marquis that goes below the mirror
Clean up candy delivery tray and coin bezel
Locate door for lower cabinet or maybe even replace lower cabinet if the bottom is really missing as indicated in the second pic
Coin mech and coin box are more than likely missing too

You know, before you buy this one, you might want to visit the local flea market and check below the tables for the missing parts to this machine.  I am sure they are there somewhere including a NOS coin mech, NOS mirror trim and mirror, NOS "Fresh Candy marquis and everything that you will need for about $100 for the package. biggrin Cool laugh

Yeah, a quick coat of paint and you can quickly turn this around for $5,000!

PS:  Better yet, I will sell you my 120 with Gum Wheel for $5,000!

I'm surprised he didn't say it "looks good". If a seller has to tell you it "looks good", that's a pretty good bet it doesn't. Especially if the ad is not accompanied by a photo.
