I went out garage sale shopping this morning (Friday) for two hours and I found and bought 5 gumball machines!
I've never seen even one at a grage sale before and today I found 5.

I paid $10 - $15 each for them! The ones with the stands were just $10 each (including the stands)!

Now I know the two with stands are probably more for home use, but you can't beat the price, especially with the stand.

I know nothing about gumball machines, but it was fun to get these today.

The other 3 will clean up nicely, I haven't even started cleaning them, but I took a few pics.

I love the firm price they set for selling it:

And finally a close up of the other three:

Those Komet's are nice machines.  I have one myself http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?letter=K&game_id=3340

Doc,Thanks for the link. Only the one on the far right is missing the little barrel lock (on the very top) and key. I assume I can find one on eBay?

'Kito finding a lock on Ebay shouldn't be a problem at all. I've picked up parts for my Ford Gumball on Ebay, Or Google for gumball parts, there are many suppliers out there - bulk gum new decals, etc.

and hey,, a gumball machine or 2 or 4 in the gameroom is almost a requirement '>

Some machine locks are a little different from each other.  Let me see if I might have an extra one that will fit the Komet.
