Title: Any vintage machines come in pink?
Post by: Ridewithme38 on December 04, 2006, 04:42:49 pm
Any vintage vending machines have a pink color  :D
Any vending soda candy or anything would be cool...just looking into setting up a theme for my daughters room

So did any soda company make a machine with a little or a lot of pink in it?
Can you think of any bulk candy or otherwise type machine with pink?

I'm going to start with something like This and want to build like a carnival, vending,arcade type setup...building an arcade cabinet this weekend.....

I've seen some vintage Stoner candy machines in a pinkish paint - don't know if it was an original color though.

I had a friend who traced Disney images on the wall and then airbrushed them in. They turned out really nice. Could be done in 3D?

Yea, fake is fine for younger kids.

If you want more ideas, Moppet is a company that made small coin-op games for kids. KLOV entry.

There is a guy over at the KLOV forums that collects Moppets.  I thought he had more pictures on his web site, but there is only one of him inside of one (Noice is a character).

Saw a half scale working desk phone in pink at Dillards. Think it was $20.

That fake phone would be almost as expensive as some original ones I have seen.

It might be worth your while just hanging on a while. Oroginals turn up all the time in pink and
I have seen them for less than $100.00

Fake is definately OK for kids.

That come up from time to time at reasonable prices.

I wish i could find that...i think that a very cool item for a little girls room...i've got to start searching ebay for master-matic now

I don't even know if i'm going to go through with this now that i'm thinking about it....i'd probly end up spending at least a few grand...and my daughters only a year old so she can't really apreciate it anyway...i'd be building it as a selfish way of saying "Look what i built"

Man, sounds like your daughter is going to have one heck of a cool room! You will have to teach her how to recognize nickels and dimes here real soon!

I just thought of something my dad used to say to my brother and I....."You boys are going to nickel and dime me to death!" :D

Roger

I'm at work at the moment but when I get home I post pictures of the back. The sign is part of the back mounting. The coins drop into a tray at the bottom. The coin itself is part of the mech to dispenser the perfume.

It'll be easier with pictures.

I bet Sleepwalk would go nuts over that perfume dispenser. Just what a Shemale needs!  :O
Seriously - nice piece Dave! Did you buy that for yourself or is that one for the wife?

Nice i've actually been looking for a working payphone for awhile! too many damn people coming over and using my phone!!

I'm definatly going to bid on that...it'll be great when she becomes a teenager she'll have a phone in her room AND dad'll make some money off of it =)

When she becomes a teenager, she will not be caught dead using a land line  :D
           I'm going to bet that payphone is actually beige..looks sort of pink in the picture but won't blend with the hot pinks you are using now

Not sure if you have any plans yet.  I came across this web site today.  You can probably scale down one of the classic cabinets (mini Ms. Pac-Man?).

Well not that you would want it in a childs room but Automatic Products did produce their Smokeshop Cigarette machine in a pink color in the 50's or early 60's. They used to have one on display in their plant.
