Yep! Clean and simple! And Cash!!
I also added pull knob candy machines they're cool, can be worth a lot
and are good to trade...especially Stoner machines......

I recieved a call from a guy answering my ad last night wanting to sell me a vendo 6 case vertical self serve machine. He said it needed freon and paint and he would let me have it for just 4500.00. He tried telling me it was worth 6500.00, yeah right!!! I told him that I already have one and it gets cold and I only paid 150.00 bucks for it.  No sell.

I ad has generated leads on 6 sq. tops and a soda fountain bar in the 2 weeks. I will be following up on all the leads this week end. I have been tied up restoring a Stoner Jr candy machine for the last couple of weeks. Terry

Hey Lars,
  In about a hundred years or so, I'll probably wish I would have bought the 6 case vertical for 4500.00 :oh:

Stoner Candy Machines are awesome. I'm about 85% done with a Stoner Junior that I picked up in Illinois about 3 months ago. I love the "mechanicalness" of it. I've always been kinda' into things that have 'trons running through their respective veins but this Stoner has been a really cool experience so far!

If anybody here is thinking about restoring one or just needs parts, the go to guy is a fella named Curtiss. He works for Memory Lane Blvd and works closely with Back In Time Warehouse (BITW, has an Ebay store) If anybody out there knows anything about Stoner's, he it! Our candy machine brethern are just as cool and helpfull as we are!!

They stock a boatload of parts and if you need something and don't see it on the Ebay store, just give Curtiss a call (his number is listed on the BITW website) and ask away!

If anybody here needs any of the replacement "Univendor Cards" that go in the glass card holder of the junior, let me know. Also I have a bunch of the 5 cent / 10 cent price tags that go into the price/sold out flags.

Curtis is who helped me with the Frosty machine. He is a great guy.
