Title: The $50 find Post by: mrsoda on August 11, 2009, 01:05:18 pm found this cool clown machine last year for $50.00 it was in such bad shape no one wanted it even for 50 bucks. The plastic was broken and the clowns clothes were all good for the garbage, did not vend, and had lots of rust, gave to curtis and he brought it back from the dead, had his friend make all new clothes, got a plastic shop to bend new plastics and did a hell of a paint job with custom hand lettering, he made it vend and talk again, my son loves to put in a coin and have the clown talk to him and swing back and forth, Good feeling to find a machine that was just total junk and bring it back to new.
