Title: what brand candy machine is this and value
Post by: vintage_car on June 02, 2011, 02:56:38 pm
I really like this machine... great patina. How makes it, I didn;t see a name plate anywhere. Also, is this the complete machine? was there a base under the candy tray, if so this machine didn;t have it. It was tight quarters where I had to take the pictures, hopefully there is enough to show what it is and maybe you all can give me a guesstimate.

It's a Stoner Junior with original "Mid Green" hammertone finish.
A shame the base is missing...

what is the value without the base in the condition it is in?

I wouldn't give over $275.00 without the base.

Looks nice, might clean up nice too and keep original? base will be hard to find, but can sit on a table or mabye if your crafty enought , you can make something.

It's the 120 model of the stoner jr. meaning it is a little taller and holds a few more candy bars.

Check with Curtis (memorylane) on the base.  I believe they are repopped.

Last time I heard of the bases available they where as much as the whole machine, the prices I was quoted and I can't remember from which vendor but it was like 525-550 .

I passed.

You could always hang it on the wall. Does it have the bracket on back to hang it?

WOW--I had no idea they were charging that much for a re-popped base.  As far as the bracket to hang it on the wall, I have owned several Stoners but I have never seen the bracket that can be used to anchor the machine to the wall.  It would be interesting to see what one even looks like.

Wow for that price.. I'd make a base out of MDF or plywood and paint it hammertone till a parts machine came along... There are a couple guys on oldgas.com that have built whole gaspumps from that MDF and wood and once
painted look killer...
