I have a restored Stoner Theatre candy machine, and the light source has a rotating drum of different colors that light up the machine. Is this something that was original to the machine? I had pictured the light as just being white.  Thanks!!

Every Theater that I have seen just has a plain flourescent bulb in it.  Curtis is the expert though!

I do believe its a fluorescent light, and it has this rotating drum of color that gives the effect of changing colors. My machine also has the optional gum dispenser, so maybe it's just another upgrade to this machine. The drum looks original, but I don't know.....

This is a aftermarket light kit used to make a regular Stoner into a light up. I've own 2 Stoners with those light kits. I actually really like them. You need to drill holes into the machine so there was always a debate on if it hurt the value of the machine but if it did or didn't it looked good.

Couldn't one of these light kits be put into an original Theatre model? How can I tell if its an original or a convert? I bought the machine with the impression that it was an original Theatre model. I also understand that the models with the gum dispenser is very rare....

Email me photos of your machine, front, back, inside door. curtis@retrovending.com or post on the site. Between myself and the guys here, we can tell you weather it's a real Theatre.

It's going to be a few days till I can get some pics. It's at the restoration shop right now. I bought it already restored, but it needed some new locks and the fluorescent bulb needs replacing. I'm not sure when it was restored, not recently. My buddy is fixing the locks on it. I'll send you pics later on in the week. Thanks for your help!!

Curtis will know for sure. There are also many after market kits added to non-theatres to resemble a Theatre.
