What's new.....It's Big Blue!!!

[Funtronics]

That looks to be a really neat machine. My daughter would love that. Looks like you did a lot of research on the decals. They look great. Sure glad I didn't have to move that blue elephant.

Very nice! so does the "drumstick" selection have the proper "ammo-belt" to hold the cones/round openings? ( as opposed to the sandwich-bar selection that have the rectangular "ammo-belt" openings

[Larry]

It has the proper belts and gears.  The cone has a different sized gear because there is less product in the cone vs the flat bars.  The motors all turn the same so the gearing needs to be changed.

I had another machine that I stripped for parts.  I sold two belts and kept the other flat belt and its gears.  So if I wanted to, I could make it all flat bars instead of the one cone and two flats.

looks like that machine would weigh a ton and a half, but  still cool

[johnieG]

Yeah they do weight a ton ( 650lbs) I had to move three of them once upon a time. this ones a post-select version, I also know of the earlier "pre-select" model. the motors & timing gears on the back are a piece of work in themselves.

Johnie,

I feel your pain! I remember picking those two machines up that you shipped down here to Indiana via Ohio. You did a great job "palletizing" them and that made it easier to get them into my buddies trailer. 1300lbs of love!

His poor little truck almost gave up the ghost on the way home though! Some of the grades we had to climb had me replaying in my mind "I think I can, I think I can"
