Title: Coin Operated Fan Post by: vendo39 on October 30, 2008, 01:19:14 pm I’m really new to the coin op hobby and I still become amazed at the strange things people built to be coin operated machines. Here’s a coin operated fan of all things. Almost as good as the coin operated typewriter I saw a picture of a few days ago.

I have never seen anything like that.
Thanks for sharing. Title: Re: Coin Operated Fan Post by: BrianB on October 31, 2008, 06:09:01 am Nice. The GE Coin-op fans usually go for a premium. I've seen fans in that condition go for between $500-$700. You don't even want to know how much a restored one goes for!! :biggrin:
Just a note, they are almost always missing the back cover. But, they are reproduced and available on the web. Title: Re: Coin Operated Fan Post by: Jim on October 31, 2008, 08:42:02 pm I wonder if the seller is associated with the re-chroming people since the sellers name is speednsport...?
