Title: Not Soda Related - National Cigarette Machine Part
Post by: Jim on February 23, 2015, 09:23:48 pm
Just checking to see if anyone has a box of extra National Cigarette Machine parts...
I'm looking for 1 ejector that mounts to the rotating bar for the box matches. This usually along the back of the vending mechanism located under the match columns.
Before I look at having something fabricated, I thought someone somewhere might have one...

Sorry I can't help Jim, but I will take four if you have some made. My machine is missing all of them.

Does it have to be exact?
I understand that if its for a customer then yes, so ignore my babbling.
For my v56 there were a couple of door latch parts missing. I spent many hours at our local hardware store and finally found some pieces that I modded into latch parts that work.
Defintaly not original but it fills in nicely until I can get the proper stuff.

       Fire, if it were for a customer they would probably never know the difference.

       This part must be for Jim's machine...........HE is the perfectionist!   :drinking:

If I find one, replicating the part may not occur...  I'll keep you informed

Hi Jim,
Not sure if these might work for you or if you would even be interested since they are not original.
They came out of a late model Westinghouse S-O-M pushbutton machine (I think they were the SO flappers). I thought I would throw it out to you.
They fit on a 1/4" rod, but that could be modified I am sure. Each is about 2" tall and 1&3/8" wide. It is a spring steel piece riveted to a steel bracket.

Still looking...  Hopeful I do not have to replicate these!

Tom,  the shaft is too small and the dimensions are a little bigger than the original... Thanks for the input!
