Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this puppy:
http://tinyurl.com/cq9e9
Seller started bidding at $275 and buy it now for $300, and got no bids.
I am almost positive that this machine was designed for the NYC subway system, as it will fit between an I-beam, and I remember seeing them this color when I was a kid.
I'd consider making the guy a fair offer on it.
Suggestions?

That's a neat looking machine. I'm pretty sure that is a generic with a Hershey sign screwed to it, though. For that amount you could score a Stoner (Jr. or 180) for that amount if you keep your eyes peeled. A much more desireable machine. But, to each his own!

This is just the sort of thing that I have moved over to. Smaller and easier to post. Already have two for collection in a couple of weeks when I go to the US.
Is there anyone else out there who collects this sort of thing???

I have two that are similar but they vend laundry supplies. They are on display inside our laundry room. I also have a 1 cent vendor that is longer and slimmer that vends Wrigley's gum.

Awesome!, you cant beat the price. Looks like it may be a Rowe or a National. Not 100% sure though. That's the thing with most of that era's machine. They all look alike! Looks like it's in pretty good shape too. Is it close to home?
Oh yeah, it's addictive! Don't you remember siging that liability/acknowledgement waiver when you got your account here? Funny, I don't either!

11 little candy machines..... can't stop... Still looking for a floor model

there's a Rowe on eBay now but it's missing some trim pieces or I'd bid but afraid I won't find the parts it's about the
size of a Stoner.)
By the way....You STOLE that one ! Great score!
Gonna look good by all the soda machines you're gonna end up buying!
And look at poor Bob K! He ran a soda ad and got a awesome little candy machine

Yep, it's an hours drive away. Getting it tomorrow. There's some rust on the knobs and in the drawer, but I've got some good chrome paint.
No keys, though. Any thoughts on how I should unlock this thing? I really don't need 40-year old candy.

I'd just drill the lock it out and replace it... I'm sure it's something that can be replaced.
check with Roger at Crowriver.com he may have a lock that will fit.
And the knobs (I think are solid turned metal) and will probably just need a good buffing!
Yeah wanna see that beauty when you get it!

Yep, it's a National. I love it, I can change the price to $0.75 without changing the coin mechanism- It doesn't return change. As long as no one pulls the lever after putting in a quarter, I'm golden.
Somebody said "machines of this era." What is the era? I remember them (mostly as cigarette machines) from the 60's but they look like they pre-date that.

Hello Everyone.
My 5c Shipman Gum vendor arrived the other day. Managed to get the lock off it. (No Key) and the vending Mech seems to work well. A little sticky but all there.
The machine was used to vend Wrigleys Gum and also LifeSaver tubes. I went to the shop today to get hold of some lifesavers but the tubes are a lot bigger than what the space in the vendor can accomadate. Have lifesavers nearly doubled in size since my machine first began life or do they also sell them in smaller packets.???
Wrigleys five stick packs work just right. I'll have to take a load home with me because our packs in the UK are seven sticks and a fair bit bigger.
Cheers
Dave

Make sure you take some pics for us when you get home.
They do make smaller packs of Life Savers, but they are special advertising ones that companies buy a ton of and have their names put on it for trade shows. They used to also sell these smaller packs in bags at stores, but I think they stopped producing those when they started to make the "singles" packages. You might check out the Halloween candy selections - I'll also take a look when I go to the store.
About how many Life Savers does it look like should go in a pack for your machine?

Found this place on-line that has the mini rolls, but you have to buy a 10 pound box!
As I said before, I'll check out the Halloween candy when I'm out shopping.

Thanks for the site. However, she who has to be obeyed has finally put her foot down. That extra 10lb has sent her over the edge especially as I have just bid and won a 1950's payphone which will hopefully be deleivered here in the next few days and needs to be packed and carried home.
I have stored the site away for a raid when I get home and I'm out sight of the evil eye.

That payphone will look very cool in your game(s)room.
Just think of the reaction the "trouble and strife" would have given you if the phone had a booth attached to it!
Continue to have fun and please keep adding to your unofficial Yankee blog.

A National model just like yours though he wants $200 ....
But it's sooooo cool I think I may buy it.... Haven't seen anything around here in so long
(actually nothing since the Vendo 56 RT)
I just don't want to get slap happy and buy the first thing that pops up....
It's in a Barn/Shed... Blue..... and I think calling my name......
I just don't know... $200 firm..... what do you all think?
Is it a need!!!??!?! or a fix?!?!?! till something else comes along...
Don't know much about these machines...I know Stoners go high...
But this is really cool look'n to...Though the knobs are a little rusty
(I thought they where just turned solid aluminum... but no... chromed steel.)
Any advice as to value?.... Of course it ain't no “under $75 special” like our lucky Trew here... But hey it is a coin-op...

Well
I managed to make it home safely. Still on US time, going to bed in the middle of the night and waking up late in the mornings. The kids are grumpy, the wife is grumpy and to top it all I didn't get my promotion at work.
What's that saying.... "There's no place like home"
Anyway, the good news. My new toys are now in their rightful place. I have eclosed a picture of my gum machine. If you look closely (sorry about quality of picture) you will see that it is missing the coin entry chrome plate. I know a lot of you are gumball/candy fans. Does anyone know where I will be able to buy a replacement piece of trim for it?? I tried Roger at Crowriver but he doesn't have any.
My new payphone (which frigtened the life out of your secruity chaps. It was tested for explosives and alsorts) has cleaned up wel. I used a little oil and freed the dials clogs up. The only probem I have is the transmission level is very low. Recieving is fine but talking back is only about 40% at best. Does anyone have any knowledge at all about telephones or can point me in the right direction.
Today I put a set of Computer speakers in my Drive In Movie speaker holders and have now rigged it up through my PC and connected the lot to a Seeburg wallbox. I can download anything I like and have an orginal 1950's selector playing music through a PC out onto original Movie speakers. When you can do things like that why worry about work and minor things like feeding the family.

Dave my father knows alot about the old pay phones. I will ask him today. there was a time when we restored about 50 of them. We sent 25 of them off to las vegas and had them gold plated and had the other 25 black powdercoated. they were really cool looking. I was too young to remember how to fix them but I am sure dad will know.

Ok I spoke with my father. How old is your phone. Can you post a pic. If it is a really old phone it wont work on todays network any way meaning that it has been changed over anyway. But he said that he bought a new board for the phones at a company named Phoneco. They specalize in antique phones. You could change it over with their parts. However there is almost nothing to the works of a telephone. If you can find a rotary phone or even a push button phone that has a swich from touchtone to pulse you can take the phone apart and use its parts from it in your payphone. But also if the only probem is the transmission is low unscrew the mouthpiece and make sure everything in there is Ok. They might have unscrewed it in customs and pinched a wire or something. I hope this might help. I am sorry that I don't know more about this.

And Yes... It's a Stoner!..... Now I can't go look at it till next weekend because of the show
But they've had it for 25 years, bought it at a sale and has been in their shed since... They've never done anything with it....(hope the shed has a floor...and not a dirt floor)
Anyway they really didn't give a price... But having it for 25 years I bet they didn't pay much.
So I'm hoping $100 or less...
Going to look at a National (Sounds like the model Trew posted here first) tomorrow... $25!
Was told it came out of a theatre...
Anyway soda machines have dried up but the candy machine ad has gotten three good calls.
It says: “Buying old upright mirrored pullknob candy machines, Stoner, National, Rowe and Canteen.”
I may run it again since these 3 popped up here at the last week of running.
I think I'll run another for old soda bottle machines and chests too.
Advertising works!
