Title: Re: Candy Machine - Nobody fancy this project??? Post by: davethebirdman on June 09, 2013, 07:16:56 am I bet it will come up a real treat. Title: Re: Candy Machine - Nobody fancy this project??? Post by: SLIDER on June 09, 2013, 11:15:02 pm Picked up the Du Grenier "Candy Man" machine today! REAL nice older gentlemen said he has had if for 25 years! I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived there. It was a lot nicer then the Ebay pics. Just a lot of surface rust, no ROT or holes or any dents!!! Mech is complete, and even had the original coin box. What amazed me was only one of the original glass windows are broken. Complete machine down to the really cool "candy" script.
