Title: New Coin Op Machine found this weekend!
Post by: SIGNGUY on August 10, 2008, 10:46:36 pm
I was gone all last week with the Family, Camping in Northern Minnesota. Managed to get a few hours one day to go "hunting" for stuff... Came up with this pretty cool 5 cent vending machine, Made by Lawrence Mfg in Chicago. I'm pretty sure it's for candy or gum? has the same mechanism as the U-Select-it machine... Had to start taking it apart as mice had made a home in the inside of the unit...  :darn: What a gross mess.
Anyway got that cleaned up and soaked.
Needs restoration.. The whole machine is made of aluminum, vending mech, cabinet, information plate on front, etc...
Any info on this would be appreciated... most likely will be for sale, either as is or after I get some paint on it, new mirror, etc...

There was one of those on E-bay not too long ago.  Unfortunately, somebody outbid me right at the end.  :down:

I was not able to find much info about it at the time.
