SMC Discussion Areas

Its been a few years since I've been around here. Glad to see a lot of familiar names.. I've kind of lost interest in soda machines and have a few machines and parts laying around. I'm looking for someone in NJ area that would be interested in a few square tops I have along with some bottle and can stacks, and misc parts and pieces. At this point, I don't really have time (or desire) to go through stuff and part it out. I have a V63 not cooling (can stack I think), a USS8-64 not cooling, a WB-66 that did cool but probably hasn't been plugged in 4-5 years. I have a brand new compressor and dryer that I bought to put in one of the machines. A few can stacks, coinco coin mechs, shelves and some other stuff I'm forgetting. I'd be willing to work a deal or trade for an EM pinball machine (my new obsession). I can get some pictures or a more detailed list if anyone is interested.

Heya Bubba ( Ken) glad you're still about! I too ( used to) work a lot on the old EM pins , but since a lot of my local former hangouts & digs ( a place called "Games people play" & a pinball restoration shop called "Free-Play" gaming shops & stuff) have either retired or close up shops, haven't worked on many lately... you can also try to post over at this link... it's a Facebook group I found & a lot of the characters who hang about here also hang about there too.

you'll probably get a few nibbles on the old hook... don't be stranger

Johnieg...

Hey JohnnieG... Thanks.. I'm still around. Glad to see a lot of familiar names around here. Been a crazy last few years with work and life.. All is good though.. We just recently moved my company to a new location and forgot I had these few machines and parts and pieces in the warehouse.. New place doesn't have the space so the machines are now in my driveway at home. I'm still keeping one or 2 machines that are working. I found and joined that facebook group a few months ago when this site was down. I haven't posted anything yet there, figured I start here as this site has always been good to me.

The EM pinball stuff has really got me hooked. I love the challenge of making them work. I seek out non working machines. Mine are all players - scratch and dent machines. I don't care for fully restored. I just picked up a EM puck bowler a few days ago that I'm looking forward to getting into.

Hey Gents,
  Might be a dumb question...but what is EM?

Ken

EM = Electro Mechanical
Basically, pre-digital era games

Thanks for clarifying. I figured was something like that...words just werent coming to me.  :darn:

Ken

I finally got a sort of list together on what I've got..

1 - Vendo 63 with Can stack. As of now, it looks like I don't have any V63 shelves. Machine doesn't cool
1 - Cavalier USS-64 - complete. Doesn't cool
1 - Westinghouse WB-66. It cooled when I got it, but haven't plugged it in recently.
1 - new compressor and dryer from Global.
2 - Vendo/VMC bottle stacks
1 - Vendo/VMC Can stacks
12-13 VMC56 bottle shelves
Misc parts from 2 stripped VMC56 machines
A few coin mechs

I'd prefer to sell in one shot. I'm looking for $1000 pickup in NJ. Still open to trades for EM pinball machine

Is $800 more reasonable? I don't really know what prices are anymore.. I'm open to offers..
