Title: Interesting Stoner on E-Bay
Post by: mznb1u on November 06, 2009, 08:21:57 pm
Saw this posting.  The machine looks original but there is no mirror and no evidence that there ever was one.  The gray finish makes it look like a machine that was placed in a factory or maybe a military base.

I have one just like that!  I think Curtis said those were made towards the end of the production run and you are right there never was a mirror.  They have no mirror or stainless parts.  I always considered it an el cheapo model but I never thought about it being for the military. 

I used mine for parts.

wouldn't be too hard to dress up and put a mirror or something on the front, if you wanted that look..

I sold of few of these, ones that were made with out a mirror ever.  Think they were made
by Vendo at the end of the Stoner life.  I believe the guts were the same.
