This is fairly close to me.  Is it worth the $430?  The mirror seems to be missing and the paint is in rough shape, but it looks straight.

Tough one to find (for me anyway). See if you can go look at it and make sure the guts are in it then offer them $375 or something you'd be more comfortable offering just don't shoot too low they're bringing $450+ on
eBay and they may know that. But I'd for sure go look at it...
Good Luck!

How much would it cost me for the mirror and the piece that holds in the mirror?  Does anyone sell them?

Boy tough call.. 430 is a good price for the other one that sold but this is missing TWO critical pieces and to my knowledge from Curtis are NOT reproduced and these are the top and bottom Chromed metal moldings that hold the mirror, the side ones are there wish are good. The mirror you can get cut any any glass shop and I could trace a template for you off mine and that would only be a 10-15 bucks topps I'd guess to get cut. The insides look to be all there? hard to really tell and of course you dont' know if they operate correctly or not? As far as body, looks straight and would have to be blasted and repainted, and the glass inserts are available throught curtis if you wanted to redo that. Let me know if you want more photos of the parts that are missing... Good luck! '<img'>

Did you check out the guys "Country Store", it's his display for all his stuff. .very cool!! has some other great stuff there as well, a few more stoners, some machines and other great signs/clocks/displays.  It might be worth a road trip to see the stoner JR and his collection! '<img'>

I have seen that Country Store before, but seem to recall a different name on it - maybe not.
The reason I remember it is the Coke 88 - uncommon machine.

Josh,  It is near  impossible to find the molding that is missing on this machine I talked to Curtis about the same problem with mine, it's missing the chrome molding that holds the mirror on also . Good luck

While I was negotiating, someone bought both of the Stoner Junior he had.  He found the missing chrome piece that holds in the mirror.  I snooze, I lose.  Oh well, i have way too many projects already.

This machine has Two of the Four peices of molding that holds the frame. It's missing the Top and bottom peice, the side ones are there, just painted the same as the body.  There are two versions of the Stoner Jr. one has a small strip of molding on the bottom side of mirror, other has a large strip and has the words Fresh Candy embossed on it. This one your looking it is the smaller version.  See differences in photos. Hope this helps.
Let me know if you need more photos. See if he has these pieces.
