Title: Candy Machine - Not a Stoner but a nice starter.

I thought this was a reasonable price for a vintage machine that has trays and can be utilised
for most bars of chocolate.

Ray,

That machine has been on and off Ebay for the last couple of years.  I think it is an early National but it has some features that are similar to my early model Stoner Theater.

I agree, at $150.00 to $200.00 that would make a pretty neat machine to own and use in the ole man cave or garage. I wish it were located close by. And yes, these machines are heavy.

Just an FYI is all

It is a National Consoline Candy Merchandise, series CC Deluxe.  5 and 10¢ vend or an
optional 3 price ACMR. the 5and 10 used sliding mech

This one pictured has been modified for 2 snacks, and 5 candy. We still had a couple out
in the late 80's.

They came out after 510 series, the 510 sort of look more closely to stoners.

I still manual and sales brochure for it.

I know this post is getting old.....

Me, if I were wanting an older candy machine, this one would not be it.

First, you can see that it has been repainted, needs to go back to green hammer tone.

The shelves - one is out of pastry machine, one has shelf extension, that means two shelves have been removed.

Only good thing about it is has a ACMR coin mech.  That is three price probably top vend is 60¢.
( i have a $1.30 wheel that will work as well as 2 electronic retro fits kits)

I would say if you get for $100.00 or so and pick up it up it would be an OK deal.

BG  Thanks for pics of the sales brochures, it gives you a better idea of what they were like new and all the options they came with; like looking at a vintage car  brochure

The shelves sort of suggest it is a National, but never seen one like this.  Also I would guess
the display panel has been replaced by glass.
