New purchase -Lehigh Foundries Cigarette Vending Machine.. Help.

[Eric]

Found this years back in the bottom of my Stoner cabinet.. have no idea what it is what it goes to..... Anyone?

May be too new?....  But would be awesome if this is what you needed...

Hi Eric

Have had a quick look at the space left behind by the removal of the coin mech and its substantially larger than that of a National cigarette machine.
I was actually thinking that it would have a National Rejector incorporated within it.

Not sure when they started using National Rejectors. My understanding from the limited research I have done (thanks to GP) is that this machine is a 1940's model.

Have enclosed a quick picture, tomorrow when I get the chance I'll remove the mechanism from the cabinet and take a better picture, side on. If possible could you please
measure the size.

It is potentially promising.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,
Looking somewhat like Canteen on the mech. Hard to tell.

Hi Guys

Managed to get the whole mech out of the cabinet and take a sideways picture of where the coin mech used to be. Seemed it was quite substantial.

I also found some bits in the bottom. One piece looks like the front cover of the coin mech and the other is the shute to catch the coin.

Eric - Not sure if yours is suitable for mine now that I have managed to get it out.

dave,

if and only if you draw a blank on the forum

is there an option to maybe get in touch with a lehigh council or similar

there must be some people involved in company history that may be able

provide retired employees or old sales literature to maybe assist you......

long shot
