Title: Picked up some machines... Post by: Jim on December 11, 2012, 04:53:31 pm Just a couple of photos of my last acquisitions...
In the Junior/120 photo, I added the Stoner I bought in Chicago on the right side. And in the cigarette photo, the three on the left are new. All in all, I picked up four Seniors, two Juniors, 1 Stoner 120 and three National cigarette machines. Title: Re: Picked up some machines...

It was Tim.He still has a few cigarette machines and a Westinghouse soda machine that was a little big for me... Title: Re: Picked up some machines... Post by: GreginNM on December 12, 2012, 03:54:54 pm Nice haul, Jim!! That deco looking National is sweet! Gotta get me one of those 7-pull Nationals sometime....just don't pop up very often in my neck of the woods.

He still has a few cigarette machines and a Westinghouse soda machine that was a little big for me... Looks sweet, and good job. Those pics would look good in a calendar. I'd put money on the fact that you got the best of the lot even if you left a couple breadcrumbs behind for the locals! Title: Re: Picked up some machines...

A very impressive haul....I seen you work and I really like how you keep the Stoners you restore more original then others ….especially painting them the correct “hammer-tone” finish and colors they came in. Basic on seeing your work and with the info you proved…I painted my Senior “hammer-tone” Light Blue with Hammerite paint. Thanks for sharing!!! Also, I just was wondering what's your method of finding them…Craigslist, EBay, classified, estate sales, yard sales, networking, some kind of broker....etc or all of the above? I got my senior from Tim, So I guessing I used networking…. but would also like to get a Junior one day. Thanks, Ray Title: Re: Picked up some machines...

Bought a load a while back for my machines. Just got to remember where I put them.. Dave Title: Re: Picked up some machines... Post by: Creighton on December 17, 2012, 11:24:14 pm Top notch haul Jim,
