I came across this doing my daily search on ebay. Anybody else see this on ebay. Way out of my price rage, but looks kinda cool.

Hey, Curtis, is that a reasonable proce? I've never seen a wooden candy machine before, so going  undetr hte assumption it's rare,  tuen of the century and complete.
Not that I can afford it mind you...

There was one similiar to this at the Chicago spring show in 2007.. they had some rediculous price on it like 12k or something... can't read the tag in the photo... little different design. but cool.

I sold that one to that guy through another friend that had it for sale. It is nice but I have one I'm restoring I got from Calf. about a year ago that would put that one to shame! It will go to a high end auction when finished.

Here are a few photos of the one I'm doing, I had the cabnet re-finished but I have to re-paint the lower feet area and I sent all the Chrome mecs out to be re-chromed and had a new front piece made and re-chromed. This was the one on ebay about a year age. I got it for $1500.00 and $425.00 to have it picked up and shipped to my shop.

Looks like Tiger Maple. That is a nice machine. I've seen the one on ebay some time ago. He might have put it on a 30 day listing. If I was going to spend that much I would buy a Pepsi Light up.
