Title: Finally got me a Stoner!!! (Machine)
Post by: SIGNGUY on January 16, 2007, 11:24:34 pm
I had posted about some machines I found locally yesterday on Craigslist (Cav 96) and others. Talked to the guy last nite and went to see him today. didn't end up with the Cav 96, but picked up this Stoner 180 Candy Vendor. he had 2 but wanted more for the other that had nice original paint and the different mirror configuration. Missing the Mirror and some trim, but other than that it's complete and even the Gum Vendor part which I guess makes them more rare.. So Overall I'm pretty happy with it so far... just wish it wasn't 10 bleow in the garage now so  I could tinker with it. Another Wait till spring project. **Paging Curtis Kauffman... Dr. Kauffman... please pick up the white curtesy phone... we have a patient waiting for parts!!!
later
John

Sweet! I've seen the parts you're looking for on ebay a few weeks back don't know if they sold so watch as it was the trim and a mirror....
Nice find! Like the turn knob for mints/gum addition on that one.
Way to go!

Welcome to the stoner family... :D Nice machine, I had one just like that model but sold it for some reason. I still have the other two models. Jr and Theater

Thanks, I was hoping for a Jr... but this came up and was priced right...After I got it home I realized it has a different configuration for the mirror.. I wanted the smaller mirror style with the scallopped trim peices, and didn't realize this was different until I got it home. This takes the larger mirror, but I've seen some that Curtis has done with the large mirror and a graphic on the mirror that looks pretty cool... so we'll see.. boy are these TOP HEAVY!... I thought they'd lite... I was wrong!

Great Collection.. I like the large Coke sign with bottle and the Cardboard, and of course everything else.. I had a near mint Lollipop sign like that one a few years back... had only one chip in it on the face with original stand and base... Fetched a pretty penny when I sold it! but miss it greatly....
Great stuff.. you should post the collection in the photo gallery.

Do they make silk screened glass for the 8 pull display
I've seen them repro'd for the juniors from time to time on eBay.


Title: Finally got me a Stoner!!! (Machine)
Post by: SIGNGUY on January 22, 2007, 01:42:48 pm
I don't know for sure, but know he does make screened glass for these, not sure what sizes, etc.. I'd just contact him and he can help you out... I've talked with him a few times now and is a super nice guy and very helpful!  I can only hope my restoration is as half good as his are...
