Title: Does anyone have a Jacobs 56 for sale?
Post by: CocaMan on April 09, 2013, 08:30:43 am
Well since Bonovox had such a nice original Jacobs 56 posted I wanted to see if anyone out there might have a super nice all original that they may want to part with?  If so please shoot me a PM.  Thanks-

Matt

This one is still for sale I think.
He also has it listed on CL somewhere.

It's a LOT more than what I paid for mine.... but it is what it is.  Either way it is a very nice original.

I also know of a lady selling a Jacobs (paint not as nice, but VERY solid body) and is asking 3500.  PM me if you want her details.

Thanks Bonovox, I had called Vintage Vending and he said that the coin rejector lever could not be replaced so I decided to pass on making an offer unless someone has one with parts to sell. I will send you a PM to take a look.  Thanks-

I saw that one in Georgia, it is also missing the rejector.  The $10,000 machine needs a lot of work.  Thanks for the heads up!

Are these what they are going for these days??  They are a hard  machine to locate in good condition.... but really??
What do you guys think on a nice original?  (And retail... not a one in a lifetime flea market price)

I paid 5000.00 for mine a couple years ago. Decent originals don't come along very often so I jumped on it. It turned out to be not as mint as I had thought it was.  This is what you get when all you have is a sellers description and some photos to go by. If only I had found this site back then I would have had a local member check it out then make an offer. Overall I'm very happy with it but would have offered maybe a little less. We all live and learn.

Seth, that is a nice looking original.  It looks really clean from that picture.  I have gotten two emails about leads on two machines so hopefully something pans out.
