Let me be the first to post a find during SMC's downtime. Thanks to a heads up from Greg, I picked up this Cigaromat from a local. Good shape and works - I think the only thing I am missing is a coin box and the right size lock.

Great machine, I restored three so far so if you need any help on anything feel free to call me, always willing to lend a hand if I can. I had a base made for the last 3 selection I did and it looked great. If your in the market to sell it please call me. Thanks.

Congrats Tom!  Glad I could help you out and make sure that cool machine found a nice home!  That's two that I've found homes for, now can't I just find one close to me!

The same person that had the cigar machine also had this machine which I bought also.
The top part holds gumballs, bouncy balls, etc. When you put a quarter in - a gumball or whatever is delivered to the door left of the gun and you get 10 shots to shoot the targets. A score and your rank is shown. Works, but needs a little TLC - gun misfires sometimes and the score and rank wheels seem to be misaligned.
I couldn't find much information on it, but did find a recent auction of a similar machine.

Anybody know anything about it?

great find, this is a very hard machine to find, do not sell it, dont let any one try to buy it from you, it took me over a year to get one, when they are restored they bring 5000.00 and they sell  very quick, this is a keeper. restores like to buy this machine, because it is a very easy resale for them. with a new paint job, you will  have a great machine, i have lot of photos done up if you need.    Rich from rms vintage is going to make a stand for his, he might be able to have his guy make a second if you need one jeff wolf

I have this six pull for a few years.  I was going to restore it, then sell it, then restore it, then sell it.  I hate to get rid of it without having a replacement in hand.  They are hard to come by.  I like it, but I believe I would prefer a three pull.  Only because it takes up a little less space.  I think the six pull looks better than the three pull.  It seems more centered or uniformed looking.  The three pull seems a little lopsided.  I guess it's all personal preference.  Kind of like the "Coca Cola" embossment of an 81A compared to a n 81B.

I was going over some of my saved pictures and I found these.  These are some machines that I ran into since I bought mine.  Plus the one on Craigs list a few months ago and now this one.  That makes five three pulls to one six pull.  They're out there, just waiting for a home.

The one in the middle with the paint drip, I restored. it's in the picture of the two that Jeff posted. I did both those machines to look alike. Kind of cool you kept that photo. Here it is sitting on my work bench.

They came out very nice, just wish the stand for the small one matched the original  stand on the bottom ,

Yep Jeff, the original stands were neat looking.  They had fins like the old cars.  This blue one had a stand, but all I have is the side shot.  It's the same style of stand that your six pull has.

I guess it was to hard to make it match, You would need a very  good sheet metal shop to make it match and i guess it would cost a lot, but it still came out nice. Rich from rms vintage said he is trying to have his guy make a perfect match, if he does might sell my bottom and buy one from him. I have the paint code to match
