Has anyone else found a a Stoner Jr. candy machine with the base shortened by about 10 inches?  I just picked up this one and I am wondering if the vendor did it himself or it was done by the factory.  The work on it appears it was done by the vendor.  Maybe he was trying to appeal to the "short " crowd.

Anyone else ever  see one of these?

I have seen two different sizes of bases on the 180's--I suspect it is the same for Juniors too.

I have seen them as well.. there are a few different models of the juniors.. I think Larry pointed them out once before somewhere on here.
but I believe there is the Junior and then there is a model called the 120.. the difference is in the vending capacity.. the Jr vends 100 and the 120 , well 120 I think.

The 120 has a Taller "Torso" so to speak so typically has a smaller stand,,

so what I believe you have is a Standard Junior "Torso" on a stand that was meant for a 120 model?   

Just my guess..

Yes, I have one now on the short base. You don't see them very often.

Very nice BC.  You are a great 'picker.

It looks  like you got yourself  a nice straight Stoner. Check the base, it  should  have two cross member supports with  holes used to  bolt up the base to the "Torso"  , it would be a real pain and allot of work to cut the base down and then re-weld the cross members. So more then likely it just a short base as the others has thought as well.

thanks Ray,

However, upon further review, I think it was shortened by the vendor.  I think the factory would look more "finished",  I will keep it small and restore it as  "TastyCake" (as I am from Philadelphia) theme


Wish me luck.  It will be my 5th Stoner restoration.
