Title: Out on the road... Post by: Jim on July 19, 2013, 04:27:59 pm Picked up a few things to share...
Three early U-Needa-Pak machines, two cigarette and a candy machine which is second from the right. A 50's National cigarette Two U-Select-It machines: the tan rusted one I picked up just before I left, the other my uncle purchased for me. And a cool Good-Grape sign that isn't dated, but could be from the late 30's - early 40's ... All the lettering is embossed too Dragged home a few other things the wife couldn't leave behind... All in all, it's good to get out ! ! ! . Title: Re: Out on the road...

They seem to be around up here in New England quite s bit. Any idea where they are from? And nice haul, but I would expect a stoner or 12 unless you already have them all from your last trip.

The U select it happens to be my favorite color for their choice of paint schemes. Not the the white/rust one. Love the gree/blue on those.

Tim, the U-Needa's came from the New England area Shane, I'm not sure which ones will get restored at this point, but I do want to keep one of the U-Select machines and the U-Needa-Pak candy machine And Leonard, I had to have the sign shop re-cut the decals so they should be back next week... I very slight flaw showed up so they are re-doing them! Anyone have any input on the "Good-Grape" sign as far as year of manufacture...? Title: Re: Out on the road... Post by: davethebirdman on July 20, 2013, 02:13:02 pm I really like that "U Needa Pak" candy machine too... Not much chance of one surfacing over here. Title: Re: Out on the road... Post by: jbrumett on July 20, 2013, 04:17:29 pm Nice Score Jim....
Where can a person get a base for the U Select? Jeff Title: Re: Out on the road... Post by: davethebirdman on July 20, 2013, 04:39:52 pm Hello Jeff I had one made for one of mine. It was not expensive. I'd look for a fabricator close by. Title: Re: Out on the road... Post by: Roadman on July 21, 2013, 06:12:55 pm nice machines. would like to see the restorations
Title: Re: Out on the road... Post by: georgescustompaint on July 21, 2013, 07:53:57 pm cool Jim.
