Title: WTB can you Help a newbie out? Post by: MikeT on December 01, 2011, 06:53:54 pm Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie here just found this great site. I have been enjoying restoring gumball machines for a while now.and I'm ready to take it to the next level. I have been looking for a while now to purchase a small Pepsi machine to restore for my shop. I really like the small square top vendo 56 style machine from the late 50s to early 60s! I see that these machines are valued at $200 to $400 here. Find some really good deals in that range but they are far away. I live in SW michigan and dont mind driving a couple hours to get one. There are a couple near me, But they are way overpriced??? If anyone is near me and has a machine for sale and wants to help a new guy out it will be GREATLY Appreciated :hopefull: Please let me know what ya got [pics] Thanks!

You should be able to find something for under $500 in working condition. Keep an eye on Northern Indiana as well if you are in SW MI.
:drinking: Tim :drinking: PS--Here is a decent one in Chelsea that you can probably get for $200 if it is still available: http://annarbor.craigslist.org/atq/2704950309.html Title: Re: WTB can you Help a newbie out? Post by: MikeT on December 02, 2011, 10:11:05 pm THANKS for the lead MZnb1u!!
