That is a great price! And will be gone soon too!!
Looks complete, but has some beauty scars and possibly rust issues down under in the base.
I'd buy it up now if it were local to me! No real time to ask questions from the seller on this one.

          I agree with Tom. It is a good price even at the buy it now for $250.
 Since you are new, you will soon learn that good deals don't wait for you....jump on it!  :happydrinkers:

         Candy machines are easy to paint since the whole inside comes out so the dents can be pounded out.

Thought so. Not exactly in my area but could be worth a road trip....10 hrs one way will be tough...

Owner confirms no key....how hard is it to re-key these machines? Any estimates on what you guys think it would cost to restore her based on what you see in pics? :help:

RetroMe or anyone else...

Are there serious bidders, as this may be fairly close to me!
I'm awaiting for the seller to tell their location...
If this is spoken for, I will back down/out...
Please advise promptly.

Looks like he answered you Jim
Port Charlotte, FL

I saw there is another Junior on the Dallas CL for $350 and it looks in better shape than this one.

That is a great price. As everyone has said it probably won't last long. I wouldn't mind getting it but it's a long ways from Michigan.

Hey Jim. Yes I am purchasing. To good of a deal to pass up. I was working out details with the owner. It's located in Port Charlotte.

Old listing and no pics of the inside, but the pull knobs are there.
