I went to buy an old gumball machine that a
older vendor had that replied to a want ad I ran....
So I swung by a couple places you guys would like and took photos.
First is Nostalic Restorations their site is:
www.nostalgicrestoration.com
check them out and give them a call they get stuff all the time.
First image is a sample of Randy's work...
sold and ready for pick up.

Here's Ross' place north side of the Marshfield Missouri exit....
he was closed but has some great restored stuff inside....
Look at the sliders.... most are gutted the the yellow one on the end is a Squirt 55 embossed there is also a dispenser/
cooler on the back row similar to what racerx45 has.
Ross' site is www.nostalgiashowroom.com

Neat pictures Eric,
Here's a picture of a few round tops that I pulled out of my garage to move over to my shop a couple of years ago.

Eric,
Some are keepers and some will be sold. My plan is to keep one of each. I restore and sell duplicate machines to buy more machines. I plan on picking up the DP cooler this week. Today is my first day off in over a month. terry

No problem Eric,
I haven't found anyone who has seen another DP cooler like this. As far as the 56, I hope you get it. I am looking for one as well. Terry

Wow! Great photos.
What the
are all those machines and parts doing outside getting rusty at those stores!
It's a crime! I'd be happy to store them inside my place.

My guess would be either "Deep Freeze" (I think that's the manufacturer...) or American Vending...

No it's a summer home and they haven't been out yet.... Don't know their full name to call and if I did
It be my luck they'd ask around to have someone tell them “Oh yeah those machines bring thousands.”
So I have to wait till they come out and my mother-in-law who talks to the wife is gonna ask for me
(They know and like her so she is my only hope) I'm afraid if I'd just show up and them not
knowing me they'd just keep it or “think about it”....
So I continue to wait

Eric,
Hope it all works out ok. The waiting has gotta be tough. Sometimes the tax office will help on the owner's full name of a certain parcel (it's public record). Then you can try and trace a phone number. Still will raise flags if the mother in law calls out of the blue. Tricky situation.
