Tom when I lived in arizona back in the mid 80's there was a guy in scottsdale that owned a place called Hollywood Steve's. He sold coke machines jukeboxes, coin op machines. I bought some stuff from him back then.  did you ever know/hear of him? Is he the same guy listing this stuff now?

The name does not ring any bells for me. There was a Jukebox guy in Old Town Scottsdale, but he was strictly jukes. I am not sure if he is still there.

That ugly clock isn't original to the machine, is it?

Stoner Theatre's have become extremely hard to find. The one on American Restoration was a not an authentic Theatre. Pieces were added to make it look like a Theatre. There are a few "restored" Theatres available on line but they look fake as well (too many or too few lights is the giveaway).  The one on this photo looks like it may be missing part of the lower front panel.  Has anyone seen an unrestored theatre for sale lately?

Hi Roadman,

 Fellow SMC member mznb1u (Tim) picked up a really sweet Stoner Theater  a few months ago, here the link on his post about it.

Yes, the Stoner Theatre in Phoenix looks original and authentic, I was just commenting that the lower panel in front of the machine looked like it was missing a section.  I was commenting that there a few "supposed Theatres" available at various "restorers" but they do not appear to be authentic.
The Theatre picked up by mznb1u in June looked very nice, it appeared to be mainly original except it had been spray painted in a light blue. Other than that machine, unrestored Theatres have been tough to come by.
