They look great!

The square 6 pack of crackers?  How do you access the coin mechanism? I would like to get mine working.

I am not if front of mine now, but the right outside panel actually lifts up and out to review the coin mech inside.  It was not obvious to me, but Jim helped me.   If you need more detail I can take a picture of mine and post it.

Slapshot42,

No problem on the posting.  You guys on this site do so much to help me, I am just happy to be able to return the favor.    In regards to the Victor, no it is not a C-14, but try a C-14 x 4 = C-45.   Picked it up several months ago for pretty cheap.  It is a beast, but was working before I started taking it apart to clean it.   Hopefully it will be running when I get it back together.  hopefull

  Looks like a very nice 5 pull.  Do you have yours vending product?

  I saw a 5 Pull on one of my first picks.  I have looked, and looked for a 5 Pull Tom's Machine and came up short with a 7 Pull for $200.  Had to pay double for shipping but I didn't care it was one of those machines I had to have!

  They are just a cool looking,  out of my entire collection I get a lot of comments about it...

They are pretty cool.  Mine needs to be taken apart and cleaned, but I have not had time up to this point.  I have tried several different products and besides getting a 6 pack of crackers to work sometimes in the center slot I have had no luck.  This part has been disappointing as I really want to use it.  If you ever figure out some product that works please let me know.

You might look at adjusting the "spacer" that controls the width of the opening the product can slide through to vend...  I have 6 pack crackers vending properly through the center column.

I drive by the Lance factory here in Charlotte pretty often, my neighbor has worked sales for them for a long time now and we recently were talking about how they used to destroy all the old machines when replaced with new.  Especially after Tom's was bought by Lance.  He says he could have filled his garage with all the old machines, but nobody wanted them so off to the scrapyard they went.

Yeah TKAZ that's true my friend is an old retired lance salesman and he has some good stories like that too. I have a lot of pictures from the factory that show machines and displays set ups and old delivery tricks. They tell a neat story from long ago, big difference today.

Here are a couple pictures of the Tom's cabinet that I promised to post. These don't come up for auction very often they are really rare. These would have been one the honor system . I bet that would not work in today's society.LOL

My first post here, great site! Yours is only the 3rd complete white machine I've saw. I bought one this past summer, and like it! Does yours have black pull knobs? Or red? Here's a picture of mine. All original! Gets lots of compliments!
