Title: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: ducatihummer on February 11, 2009, 10:44:58 pm Not sure what it is, or if it's worth it. A little far for me, and not what I was looking for but if anyone's in WA it may be worth it, I'm sure it won't sell at that price though.

What is up with the unevenly spaced pull knobs? Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: SIGNGUY on February 12, 2009, 10:17:04 am That machine is called a "U-Need-A Merchandiser".. it essentially operates just like a stoner, 5 selection machine. I had one just like it a year or so ago, missing base, but sold it to someone who was restoring another and needed mine for parts.
I am actually interested in this machine and have emailed the seller for more pics... attached are more photos of my unrestored unit. Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: oscar on February 12, 2009, 11:51:37 am What's with the Coke logo on the front?
Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: ducatihummer on February 12, 2009, 12:44:53 pm Well good luck, hopefully you'll get it. I really liked it, since it was very similar to a JR, but way too far for me and a little more then I wanted to spend. I'm glad someone on here might get it.
I really like the pulls! do you turn them as opposed to pulling??

Well most people feel this makes any machine worth more :biggrin: Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: SIGNGUY on February 12, 2009, 02:27:24 pm Yes, they are Turn knobs, vs pulls like on a stoner.. you turn them after money is deposited to get your treats!.
The coke sticker is just a sticker or magnet on it.. I've talked to the seller and he will come down in price a bit, but will not assist in packaging it in any way for my shipper to get it.. not sure what'll I'll do here.. Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: oscar on February 12, 2009, 10:24:18 pm Call NAVL or a pack and ship business.
Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: SIGNGUY on February 12, 2009, 11:55:18 pm I don't want it that bad... It'll cost me as much as the machine to use one of those services...
Pack and ship places are a rip off in my opionion, but of course that comes from a guy who packages all his own stuff , and NAVL.. hah... they quoted me 575.00 C'mon.. I actually have a better shipper and it'll only cost me 219 to my door, but it needs to be crated.. Oh well,, I just tore down my other stoner jr tonight, so thinking I'll just put the money into that and give it a killer restoration and enjoy the 2 stoners I have.. the guy did say he'd do $600 if anyone is interested... good luck! Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: oscar on February 13, 2009, 12:35:50 am Have him put it in a padded envelope and put a 42 cent stamp on it. They might not catch it at the post office. :oops: I've never priced anything at a pack and ship place. I guess NAVL has gone up quite a bit.
Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: Seven181 on February 13, 2009, 09:49:57 am I might go for it. I have a cousin in WA that would pick it up for me and drop off at a dock. I used to have a stoner jr long ago and sold it. Kicking myself for that. They are cool machines. I like this one, if real and he comes down on price.

Just be aware that is is missing the original mirror and Mirror brackets that it originally came with... it took me a few looks to figure out "what was wrong with it".. but look at my photos of the unrestored one I had.. it is suppose to have a round mirror with two special cast peices that hold it on... Just my 2cents... Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: Seven181 on February 14, 2009, 09:56:08 pm Yea, I see. Those parts could be made if another machine was found and someone let you borrow the pieces to make the parts. Looks like molds could be made and then the parts reproduced.
Title: Re: Pretty cool 1930's candy machine Post by: SIGNGUY on February 15, 2009, 10:19:26 pm Yes, suppose the could, just depends on how much one wants to sink into the machine... cost wise..
I sold my unrestored machine to a guy, just for the parts as his was missing them and it was going to cost him more to "remake the parts" compared to buying my machine. |
