Hey John,

Not sure if it is still available, but there is/was one in Plant City Florida...
Follow the facebook link and scroll down to see it with a couple other machines...

State Theater Antiques (https://www.facebook.com/The-State-Theatre-Antiques-202040079822964/)

Hopefully helpful...

I was just there the first week of January. Had some neat items.

Sure I saw a Jacobs 56 as well.

Jim were you able to get into the old theatre seating part of the building ?

When the owner sensed I knew more about the machines then most, he invited my wife and I back.

All I can say is Wow.

Apparently it's not currently open to the public, due to the renovations not being 100% complete (railings etc).

Had a great lunch at that family dinner around the corner.

Jeff,
I have not seen the back area; however, my wife has and said next time we're in the area, we should stop in...

I was there on my  past trip to Orlando / Disney (wasn't too far away, and while the kids were out at the pool and shopping I went a hunting lol).  He has some nice items there (yes there was  a 56 there too, but it was restored... not sure on the grade of restoration though.)
He showed me the back theatre area as well (he was at the drywall stage of the renovation) and it is a very impressive area I must say!  I'm sure if he gets it restored the way he told me he was going to, it will be a very nice antique / heritage place.

The store / theatre is in a small sleepy town, and with all the one way streets and all, unless you trip over it, you might not even know that there was a theatre there!

I have a good original condition 99% complete
Working condition
Could be persuaded to sell but certainly not interested in bargain basement price
