Looks great Pat!
Is it set for 5 cent or 10 cent vend? I ask because I have had discussions with people over the correct pricing for a J-56.
It has to be set for 5 cents is my opinion.

I know that machines usually look better in pics than in real life.... but your machine looks great just the way it is!!

Does the machine still work?
