Well I finally finished my two Stoners. I restored a Stoner 120 and a Stoner Jr. plus the matching gum machines. I originally was going to keep the 120, but after I finished the Jr. I had a change of heart and decided that I would keep the smaller Jr. As you can see in the shots on Ebay of the knob breakdown, I polished all the parts. The Jr. did not get as much attention. They both were stripped down and cleaned, but like I said I the 120 was the one I was doing for myself so I gave it a little more attention. Now it's the one I'm selling. All that extra elbow grease for nothing.
Believe it or not $2,100.00 is the cost I paid for the machine and parts....no labor included. The Jr. only cost me $1,800.00 to finish it. Wish me luck! If I don't break even, I'll try next year or next decade.
Here's a picture of the 120 and the Jr. They are both six pull machines. Everyone calls the 120 a Jr. because of that, but Stoner called it a 120 for the amount of selections.
Which one do you think I should've kept?
The lighting is bad in my basement, just flourescents. And a flash washes out the colors. The color is close to the old R.C. color or a Squirt can, yellow/green color.
