I bought some locally 2 Accorn machines with 10 cents glass globes on a stand.   I bought the pair for 100.00.  Sanded them repainted the rattled canned and sold them for 180.  They were kinda fun, and super easy.  

The Victors always seem to bring a steady price, the Oak / Accorns are around 45-65.  The Northwestern's seem to bewtween 65-90.  The trick is to make sure they are glass globes, and they are not chipped at the bottom.  I had one shatter in my face when re installing a new lock at the top.  They come in 6 and 8oz globes.  A great site for parts is www.gumballdirect.com

I agree with Halehouse how does gum correlate with coke?  And lastly look for them locally and dont pay much for them.  Fun for the kids, I gave an extra one to a neighbor kid and a 1950 coke ad.  He was so excited to go home and restore it!
