Any gumball machine fans here?

Well I just bought a new toy. I picked this up from ebay for $10. It is needs paint and cleaned but is all there and the dome is nice but slightly yellowed. Any advice on cleaning the lexan dome? I relly like the Vendorama's. I just couldn't help myself. Afterall even with shipping it was less than $20.

Josh,
My nephew (sisters son) had one just like that, he got it from
his grandparents (father side) auto parts store.

Way to go, Josh - LOVE those Vendoramas!! '>

I recently got another glass globed version that I'm going to restore.  I powdercoated the last one, I'll paint this one myself.

I found a pile of gumball/candy vending machines in a barn across the street from my house. Looks like a maybe 3 full racks of them and a couple boxes of broken ones with extra parts. I don't know for sure but they looked like the bases were plastic. There were red and yellow ones with square globes. Should I grab them or not?

How much do they want? Depending on price I will buy one or two if you get them. If they are cheep get them.

I would also be interested sepending on the price.
