Not sure if this is still there, but for $25 it's worth a look. It was posted on 3/1/09. way to far for me.

The machine is a Canteene Candy Machine, I'm doing one for a customer now if you need any photos of one or being taken apart let me know. Lots of work in this machine not at all like a Stoner there are over 300 shelves. The one I'm doing is embosed at the top.

OPPS .  :blush: :blush:

 Tom , 
            Forgot to answer you on the other parts . I would not really know Machines only pop up once in a while .There was one listed on e-bay with a bin $200 a little while back (No Base ) & he would deliver it to Chicago sold it But It was a Canteen .And as i noted in the pm I'v only seen 1 sell restored Top Only $1200 Now By saying restored it was Painted & the Insides were Mainly really Clean & touched up .

Now My story is My Father Worked for Canteen in the Early 60s  Nearly 30yr in Cincinnati An I bought my lower half (crappy repaint ) Just before My Father passed away .He Told me after I showed him that in 1969 Him & 2 other Route Driver took 3 trucks of this style to the Local Junk yard & had to watch them crush them Because the Canteen Corp Did Not want Anyone else using them after they were removed from service .He did tell me abought the base But I never saw one till now .He was going to help me on it but He pased away 4 month later

So it's been sittig in my basement (To heavy to move by myself ) for 5 years I piddled with it a couple time & removed the racks but that abought it .

So now Maybe the Stars Have alined & I might complet it to go with the gum machine


                                              Leonard
 Curits might need something ??

He offered, but I told him I would be in the area and it was no problem picking it up!  :upside:

If for some reason you do not ship the base, let me know. I would be interested in the entire machine. Would like to add one like this next to my cup machines.

I got the one that was $200.00 the guy said he would deliver and it's at the sandblaster, watch taking the inside units apart, Very hard to get back togather and get everything lined up on the double chaines. I'm having a Base made as it was missing,I think most were made to hang by the looks of it.

Lenoard, the one in your black and white is a smaller machine than yours and the one I'm doing. Ours is a 6 selection.

 Hi , Curtis

               Your Correct . But It was still the only Picture I had of a base under a Canteen . My Father Said there were 2 Candy Models beside the Gum & Nut vendor (I have a Gum ) I think I have the Model numbers somewere ?? I'll check .The machines were made By Rowe he said .

Leonard,
I got your machine at home - $25!
It is missing one column inside - the same column with the missing knob.
Coin mech is already removed - looks complete and in good shape.
Will work on the base and mirror trim as time permits.
Let me know if you want other parts.
Tom
