Title: My New Tom's Machine Post by: Jim on May 26, 2013, 06:36:28 pm Just sharing a couple of photos of this N.O.S. Tom's machine I recently purchased...
I bought it from the grandson of the gentleman that bought it new back in the early 60's & never used it! The four legs, bottom compartment, bag of bolts, and coin box were in the original box that is in poor condition. I am the person that put this machine together for the first time in 45+ years ! ! ! It has two imperfections and I had to get a key made as the original owner lost them... Sadly, the new key doesn't open the top,but I'll get this taken care of...

Can any modern product and it's packaging be used for vending? Title: Re: My New Tom's Machine Post by: Jim on May 26, 2013, 08:18:40 pm Thanks everyone!
I think it's very cool too! Very cool taking the original nuts/bolts out of the original cloth bag and assembling the machine! Looks Great! My Tom's 5 select model can vend peanut butter crackers from the center column; this machine appears to have capabilities to vend the same crackers from multiple columns...Can any modern product and it's packaging be used for vending? Jim Tom's machines aren't my thing, but N.O.S., I had to buy it! And to think the machine had been up for a couple of days before I found it... Thanks Leonard!Again Sweet !!! Looks great !!! And to think I missed it by 30 minutes But its at a good home :smile: Title: Re: My New Tom's Machine Post by: HowDueYouDue on May 26, 2013, 09:46:30 pm Great find! Congrats!

Title: Re: My New Tom's Machine Post by: mznb1u on May 28, 2013, 01:12:59 pm Great looking machine! You should sand-blast and do it up as a Lay's Pototo Chip machine. :biggrin: 8) :laugh:
Just kidding of course. Nice find and cool to hear that there are still products out there that it can vend. :drinking: Tim :drinking: |
