Thanks Guys. Wait till you see the art deco looking original Cigar machine I'm working on. This is a very CQQL machine. Only ever seen two. Thanks, Curtis Kauffman, Memory Lane Restorations.

These are not a high demand item I wouldn't think. If you look at the description, it is half Stoner Candy and half National Cigarette wording. I bought one about 4 years ago here in Phoenix for $150. It had been painted (with Latex) and then had some sort of clear coat or something over that, but didn't look that bad (not as good as that one, but a lot less expensive). Everything had been re-chromed and from the looks of it the guy must have spent $100 plus on chroming. Attached is a picture. I still have it.

Tom"
I think your's is a 9 select and Curtis is a 7, In either case, I would love to restore one for my malt shop. I was against have a cigarette machine in the diner but after seeing the one Curtis restored, I changed my mind. I will be on the lookout.

Couldn't you put candy in it like the small Jawbreaker boxes?
(I know it's not the same...)

A regular pack of smokes is 3 1/4" x 2 1/8" x 7/8" (LWH) if that helps.
It would take a small fortune to stock one with smokes these days.

How hard would it be to convert these to candy machines?

I'll have to look at my National again, but as I recall length, width and mainly thickness of the product to be vended would be the factor. It uses a column approach as opposed to the trays that the Stoner uses. Each column would have to be modified for a particular candy. It would be hard to switch out products after modification.
