I happened across this Stoner Theatre Candy machine on the net  http://www.rosebudproductionsltd.com/Company-STORE.html   It's being offered by a theatrical production company Rosebudproductions in Chicago, IL...the company rents some period antiques.  Not sure if it's a real Theatre (there are lots of fakes out there). This one looks freal and in ok condition and is offered at a Black Friday price of $1,800 down from $2,000 firm.  I have two Stoner Theatres at a refurbisher right now or I would consider this one. Then again, maybe I will consider this one as this is a plain 8 pull. The ones I have that are being refurbished include a Stoner Theatre mint/gum wheel version and a much older style Stoner Theatre with a hood and only two light bulbs. 

Very, very nice and looks real. 

He has had this for sale for some time!
My uncle was interested but he wouldn't go below $1800...
Now he puts it on special for $1800!
I believe it's the real deal though

Nice Theater but that price is a bit high.

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

It looks original and the real McCoy.  That is pretty much the going rate for a complete Theatre nowadays

     This appears to be a decent deal

That would be in my house right now if it were in Michigan!!!

Bob, Road trip?

OK Jim. Road trip it is.  Your choice...you buy the beer, or you buy the gas. 

P.S.  Gas is fairly reasonable right now....your call!

the Stoner Junior from Santa Monica Craig's List is a fake Theatre syle.  Stoner did not make the Junior as a lite up machine.

I just bought another Theatre in Rochester NY last week for $1500.00 and now have 4 Original Theatres at one time in my shop being restored for customers, along with 2 JR's But buying all Theatres that I can find for $1500.00 CASH!.....Anyone need a little extra cash for Christmas?

PS, That would be in driving distance.

Is that piece of Stainless Steel on the base and adder?

Got scooped on the Stoner Theatre in Rochester by Curtis...! Two of his friends down the street in Buffalo, NY would have grabbed that machine.   :laugh:

Nice pick Curtis. Real  Stoner Theatres are tough to find.  And yes, the "Stoner Junior Theatre" is fantasy piece...lights added.  

is THIS the the one you got.. I was working on them too when he contacted me in Late October looking for offers to buy... I thought I had a done deal, but obviously not..
Glad someone got it... it was a super nice original from the photos...

As I mentioned in another post, deals are STILL out there ! ! !
My uncle just brought this Theater home for $200 ! ! !
And it was from Rochester as well ! ! ! I'll be calling Curtis tomorrow...
 :jawdrop:

Ah, Christmas came early for him. Nice work.

Call if it's for sale Jim...

That was the same Theatre in Rochester NY, he said I was the first to answer him and the only one that offered $1500.00 straight out the gate. He said most everyone offered $200 to $500.

Money talks! :biggrin: :biggrin:
