Title: Tom's vending machine
Post by: bmclemore on January 17, 2010, 08:58:15 pm
I picked up this Tom's machine yesterday at our yearly bottle and collectable show. Does anyone know where I can find some replacement knobs and decals? I want to start restoring it once it warms up.

Love the replacement knobs they put on there.   If all else fails you might try a place like Autozone - these kind of look like the knob that was on my old Nova to move the bench seat back and forth.  Just a thought.

I get parts for my old Chevys through the catalogs. YearOne and Classic Industries has on line catalogs you can browse through.

If you have one good  knob, you can make a mold of it, and cast replacemments.
As for the decals, didn't Curtis or someone on the boards  find one of these machines ?
