Title: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Funtronics on October 04, 2011, 06:59:54 am Here are some of my latest finds. The crane game is a Sidebottom Super. It's a very cool machine. My daughter loves playing it. I'm going to restore it and keep it. I joked with my daughter and told her I was going to restore it and sell it. She gave me that look :down:, then I told her I was just kidding. :biggrin: The other machine is a Vendo ice cream bar machine, and the other is a Coke WD5. So many cool things to do, so where do I start?
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: collecture on October 04, 2011, 10:03:16 am Very cool Rod! Crane game looks awesome and the WD-5 is one of my favorite machines. It will be an easy restore too - not much to it! Does this mean you are going to reproduce the lid gasket for the WD-5?? :biggrin:
I've always like the Ice Cream machine, but I'd be 400 pounds if I had that around here. :laugh: Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: SIGNGUY on October 04, 2011, 12:07:32 pm Great Stuff Rod as usual. I like the WD 5 and the ice cream machines, oh yeah and the Crane, and the .....

Marvin Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Flightfanatic on October 04, 2011, 03:25:20 pm The crane machine looks awesome! I'm so jealous :tounge: I look forward to seeing pics once you restore it!
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokecolaman on October 04, 2011, 03:30:45 pm there was an ice cream machine at auction today near me just like Rod's...but it was missing the inside vending rack or drum and he couldn't (wouldn't) tell me if it got cold or not...I can follow up on it, if anyone is interested.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Larry on October 04, 2011, 04:14:33 pm Those ice cream machines are usually missing the honeycomb guts. Why, I don't know, maybe metallic bees took them all away.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Marvin on October 04, 2011, 06:07:58 pm That figures. Just like most milk machines are missing the vending racks and weights.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 04, 2011, 06:19:50 pm this is what the machine can look like restored. my friend owns this and has it for sale
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokecolaman on October 04, 2011, 06:37:03 pm I'm glad I don't have one...I would be at that thing 5x's a day eating ice cream... :Oo:
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: rayg on October 04, 2011, 10:38:29 pm Great finds Rod. Love Crane games, what kind of prizes to you plan to put in there?
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Funtronics on October 05, 2011, 05:32:03 am Not sure yet. My daughter has already made plans with Janet to seek out neat prizes to put in it. So I will let them decide. I hope they look for items that has that vintage appeal to it.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: BrianB on October 05, 2011, 06:42:10 am Rod,
"Letting the girls decide" is always a good thing. Guaranteed to keep you out of trouble, most of the time! :biggrin: Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: bcharlton on October 05, 2011, 09:44:22 am Now I gotta get an ice cream machine done up in Good Humor fot the malt shop. My search starts today. My diet will start soon after.
BC Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: rayg on October 05, 2011, 05:10:59 pm Cool Rod , I think I saw on Ebay before they were selling vintage toys for coin op machines.... on the expensive side.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: RC kid on October 05, 2011, 06:50:29 pm Anything with curved glass just looks so cool.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Slapshot42 on October 05, 2011, 07:37:06 pm Where did you find the ice cream machine?
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Funtronics on October 05, 2011, 09:31:21 pm Bought it from a guy who had been collecting machines for a while.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: BrianS on October 05, 2011, 10:16:12 pm That's two cool crane games that have showed up on the site in the last week. Those things are great. Hope to see some close up pics when you are done with it. Congratulations on a really neat find.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 06, 2011, 01:50:03 pm here is another ice cream machine my friend has for sale, his is first i have seen, anyone else have one?
the little slot to the lower right of the coin entry bezel is where the wooden spoon comes out. Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: Funtronics on October 06, 2011, 02:02:39 pm That is a really cool 8) looking ice cream machine. I have never seen one like it.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 06, 2011, 02:12:10 pm Rod he has another one in white unrestored but missing the rack, i have seen the rack very easily made by any metal shop. i can inquire about the price
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: SIGNGUY on October 06, 2011, 02:13:56 pm That is a pretty unique looking machine...
would be neat to see it in person... Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: MCarter on October 06, 2011, 04:46:56 pm That thing is Cool !! Wonder how much he is asking for it. Got anymore pictures?
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: MCarter on October 06, 2011, 04:47:53 pm Thats a minit pop right next to it too.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 06, 2011, 05:26:21 pm it is a minit pop, he is asking 6500.00 forthe minit pop all redone
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: rayg on October 06, 2011, 07:15:24 pm Is that the going rate for a restore minit pop?
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 06, 2011, 08:01:28 pm this one is pinstriped and has painted grapphics looking for a pic of it. its not your average minit/u pop it
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: rayg on October 06, 2011, 09:26:56 pm what era is this from the 1940's? it got sort of a a art-deco look to it
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 06, 2011, 10:23:42 pm the last pic is from the 40's its an original paint popmatic, it uses a clock mechanism to operate the machine. electric is only for the lights and heater.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: SIGNGUY on October 07, 2011, 09:53:12 am Nice stuff.. the restored Minit pop for 6500 sounds about right from what I've seen..
there is another one out there for sale , really nice restoration from the photos and video I've seen. I think it's Doc from Docs Bowling machines selling it.. he wants 7200 for his .. Whats the story on the Popmatic ? is he selling that too... looks like one I've seen offered for sale on the east coast a few years ago? Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: MCarter on October 07, 2011, 10:22:01 am John,
I thought Doc was selling his in Vegas? He bought some thing off of me to finish his. I think $ 6,500 is a good going rate for them too. here is mine. Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: SIGNGUY on October 07, 2011, 11:11:41 am He contacted me with a 7500 price on it via email... he has it listed on craigslist in fort wayne Ind. he has some videos of it on youtube but they are hard to watch, poorley shot.
would love to see a nice clean video of your machine working... never seen on in action! Thanks John Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 07, 2011, 11:30:34 am John the popmatic is mine I bought it from collector who had it for over 30 years, this is not the one that was for sale on east coast.
Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: SIGNGUY on October 07, 2011, 03:16:04 pm Looks just like the one that Chris Friedlander had for sale... but must have been a common color combo?
Nice.. Title: Re: New Finds :) :) :) Post by: cokemachinesandmore on October 07, 2011, 04:14:57 pm that is the original color combo, not the red and cream color
