Title: U-Needa Mechandiser Candy Machine... Post by: Jim on September 24, 2014, 06:48:26 pm I have begun the restoration on my U-Needa Candy Machine and only one part eludes me!
I'm reaching out to see if ANYONE has one of these vendors or possible recalls the type of decorative plate that mounted at the coin return button... (circled in red) I tried to locate any photos online to no avail... I realize I will not find an original, at least not any time soon, but would like to replicate something as close to the original as I can! Any direction appreciated. P.S. - Also, could also use another knob to match the orange ones... Title: Re: U-Needa Mechandiser Candy Machine... Post by: tkaz on September 24, 2014, 07:55:37 pm Jim,
Here's a cigarette machine, looks like there wasn't a panel there, unless they didn't have one either and just painted it over http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7590931 Here's one on Ebay, different model, but you can see the coin return bezel pretty well http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-U-Need-A-Pack-Coin-Op-5-Cent-Gum-Candy-Vending-Machine-/301316743099?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4627e09fbb And here's the original patent artwork for the machine, very hard to tell though http://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=D0113999&homeurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect2%3DPTO1%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526p%3D1%2526u%3D%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html%2526r%3D1%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526d%3DPALL%2526S1%3DD113999.PN.%2526OS%3DPN%2FD113999%2526RS%3DPN%2FD113999&PageNum=&Rtype=&SectionNum=&idkey=NONE&Input=View+first+page Title: Re: U-Needa Mechandiser Candy Machine...

I did see the purple version; however, the coin return bezel is oval on that model which is slightly different. I actually have a similar U-needa cigarette 5 select model that has the same oval bezel. The coin return bezel I'm looking for is a vertical rounded-rectangle which I can see from the original paint fading. Original artwork is awesome ! ! ! Thanks!
