Title: Electro Serv coin op Popcorn Machine
Post by: crackerman_don on August 02, 2015, 08:51:50 pm
I was wandering if anyone here has one of these or if anyone knows anything about these. I thought it was a neat machine and all the lettering is embossed heavy . Thanks for any help

Yes I had one that pretty cool, ended up selling it in Chicago.. the coin entry bezel on the front said it would only accept "Buffalo Nickels" only.. pretty cool. it was just a warmer and didn't work but was neat looking...

yours is very cool looking ...

Sure will, There has been one on ebay a lot from PA but it can't be fixed, both of us passed on it. Stay clear.

I just bought one of these and picking it up in Chicago.. excited to get it..
I would like to find the Decal that goes on the glass.. can someone put me touch with Larry Garland to see if he remade the decal on the one that was restored?
I'll ask Curtis at the show this weekend as well.

Here is mine that I recently got.
Purchased out of Canada and was brought to me at the Chicago show by Shane and George!  Thanks guys.

much bigger than I thought it was going to be in person, but a very cool machine indeed.. mine has a shortened top, but I also have all the original pieces to make it tall again like original, (but kinda liking the shorter...)

I think this is original paint as well, as not evidence of a repaint.. Very cool when lit up..

the body is all cast aluminum and the letters have cut outs behind them with a red plastic on the inside that lights up and gives the cool effect.. there is a warmer as well in the holding compartment.
