My new find

[Ken R]

If you're still mising something come April, let me know as I think I might try to go to the Pate Swap Meet.  Never been, so thought might go check it out!

Yes I am still in Orlando. I will keep my eyes open for you and anything I find I will send directly to you. Where are you located again?

Anyone know why there are no reproduction parts for the jacobs machines? Seems like a lot of interest and most are missing the drum...

[loman4ec]

I believe someone made some a while back. This is just a guess but not very many were made. Especially not when compared with Vendo and Vendorlator machines. Yes many are missing but few other drums are made for any machine. They are very expensive to make and expensive to ship so I doubt the demand would be high. You would have to make a huge quantity to justify the cost of tooling and huge quantities would take forever to recoup profits. Making the smaller quantities that would be more realistic would be so expensive per unit to sell they would sit on the shelf for a long time. I know I would rather wait for an original to pop up before buying a $600 drum. I have seen several rusted out Jacobs sell on ebay over the years. That would be your best bet. Usually you can talk the seller of a rusted out machine to part it out for you if you pay for their time to part it out. That would probably be your easiest way to complete the machine. If you can find a complte rusted out machine then you can buy it for far less than buying part by part especially in shipping savings from buying each part here and their.

The inside looks really clean... must not have been used much.... just wait.. a rough, weathered one will show up with all the guts... just wait it out and enjoy as is till the parts come along.

I'm in JAX. Not too far. I bought this machine from a guy in Tampa.

I think the only difference in the 26 and the 35 is the drum assy. I might be interested if i can verify that.

Looking at Walter's book....he says while the coin doors are the same size, the coin entry and empty lense are in different locations. Obviously the crank handle is different as well.
