I'm currently working on right now. It looks pretty complete, the most important piece is that advertisement strip in the inside.
Caution to any potential buyers, there are NO reproduction parts available for these machines. Choose wisely or you will be looking for parts, which will add up if you decide to restore one!!! Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Post by: mygoose101 on February 10, 2014, 12:32:42 am Jarod, Is that an original color and does anything light up on it?
Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Post by: Slapshot42 on February 10, 2014, 01:01:10 am Jarod, Is that an original color and does anything light up on it? Not sure if the color is original. There is a marque light the mounts from the inside that should light up the cigarettes lettering in the viewing glass. Often times the parts from the inside can be missing. Don't know for sure without the main door off, to see the inside parts.

Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Post by: Fire708 on February 11, 2014, 01:22:02 pm That's really cool looking.
What do you guys do with them? Are they for show or is there something like a small pack of cookies it can vend. Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Post by: Larry on February 11, 2014, 01:46:48 pm I would put in the candy and gum cigarettes in the machine. I have a real nice 9 pull that is marron and hammertone salmon. Sounds nasty, but the colors go good with each other.
The colors aren't very true in this picture. A little washed out. |
