Anybody know anything about this machine?  Looks like it could be brought back to life with a little work.  Seller says it is a complete machine with coin mech and all the hardware.

Thanks for any feedback.

Tim,

I believe that the cigarette machine is a Dugrenier.  I saw this machine and I have been debating heavily on buying it, but I recently bought a United ball bowler and I can't swing it now.  I did put a meager bid on it, and I am the high bidder, but that shouldn't last.  Feel free to bid on it.   

It is made by the same candy machine manufacturer that I posted on here a few post down.  The Ebay name that won it was Tom From Jersey, I am assuming it is the same Tomfromjersey that posts on SMC.  Anyway,  Dugrenier made pretty cool machines, and again, if I had the money, I would have bought that candy machine instead of posting it.

I just did some research and it is in fact a Stewert Mcguire machine, not a Dugrenier.

Here is a few shots of what can be done with this partiicular machine.  I saved these from Ebay because I was hoping to buy one and restore it.  I believe you will agree that cigarette machines do not look any better than this one.  It has style and grace.  Very fancy!!!

This is actually a museum piece. I could problely get away with putting one of these in the house.

I have been wanting a stoner candy machine but I think I will have to start looking for one of these machines instead.

RC Kid ~ wrong side of the country, but here is the top half of one of those machines it would appear.  I agree, what a great looking machine!!  He also has a nice cigar machine shown in the other picture for $500 on a separate listing on the San Diego CL.
