Title: masters gumball Post by: genudoc on May 21, 2016, 08:35:27 pm Found 2 masters 1923 machines
Pretty good condition Porcelain good Coin mech works dispenser area is frozen Anyone with experience on how to unfreeeze Does the center rod lock everything in ? Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: genudoc on May 21, 2016, 08:36:55 pm more pics
Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: HowDueYouDue on May 21, 2016, 08:55:21 pm Are they round or pie shaped dispensers? If pie, probably dispensed peanuts and the salt had a tendency to freeze things up. As I understand it, the center rod locks it in. Should be able to take apart and clean up and get working again.
Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: genudoc on May 21, 2016, 09:58:15 pm You are correct
It is pie shaped and I can still see some nasty old peanuts in one of them I opened the coin mech and that allows access to the rod. Thank God for WD40 Will try to remove the rod and any other tips certainly appreciated Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: Eric on May 21, 2016, 10:25:30 pm Awesome scores... great looking machines.. post some more close ups when you get all cleaned up
Nice Finds! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: rayg on May 25, 2016, 01:02:41 pm Great score! A picked up almost new hot nut machine cheap and had a similar problem withe the salt corrosion. After cleaning it up I switched to salt-free nuts.
Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: genudoc on May 30, 2016, 07:22:02 pm Success
A couple of hours of work and a few bloody knuckles and job is complete Not so easy to take apart Had to take out the bolt under the center rod and used drill to remove the center rod after that The front glass just does not pull up By accident I broke the front glass and found out that the left frame and then bottom frame slide off so glass can be removed 2nd time worked much better with no breakage Then the wheel and hopper can slide forward I soaked in dawn/water solution and seemed to help free things up Cant wait to next weekend to do the third Hope the knuckles heal Lots of sanding and now works great Title: Re: masters gumball Post by: HowDueYouDue on June 02, 2016, 07:59:36 am Glad to hear you got it working again
