Title: Stoner Candy markings Post by: MaineT on April 21, 2012, 07:17:44 pm So I took the vending parts out to clean behind it and found some markings I thought I would post cause some people might find this interesting.
one seems to be a build date of some sort. The other side says soundproofing 5/10/20... and this would explain the sprayed in fuzziness inside. I got it to vend with a nickle, but I have to hold a brass bar over to the side. Don't know if its missing a spring or what the issue is. I also found 4 buffalo nickels, 4 silver nickles, and 5 other nickels, and 2 wheat pennies?!?! I also put a picture of my find this morning.. another project on the list!!

Title: Re: Stoner Candy markings Post by: Roadman on April 23, 2012, 07:41:44 am Thanks for sharing the photos MaineT. The markings 3-31-41 confirm that this model Stoner Theatre was produced in 1941. Tim's machine also has "1941" in grease pencil. Later versions of Stoner Candy machines had a serial number plate that indicated the year of production in the first two digits.
