Title: Tom's Toasted Peanut Machine.
Post by: Sarman47 on July 06, 2014, 08:32:21 pm
I ran across this on the weekend. It was priced at $399.

Was complete.

The old car on the front is a magnet.

Does it sound like a fair price ?

Did it work and have the key(s) etc?

Hi

The tag on it said "working and have keys".

It was at an antiques and vintage store.

I just thought  it was a good price.

Just don't know to much about them.

That's a fair market price.  It has to have product in the machine to vend.  The center column can vend a square 6 pack of crackers.  The other columns might be tricky to find modern day packaging  for vending.  Some have used shims to make work...

I think that is a very fair price in that condition.  Looks great.

Thanks for the quick feedback guys.

Just a shipping container away Dave.

Interesting comment about the sims. Makes sense, I use them in an Cavalier C-55D now. Would just need to make smaller ones.

May have to build on to the garage soon, make room for more machines.

Just out of curiosity, is there a help group for machine addiction ?
