National Pull Knob Machines

[Jacko1070]

Hello all:

Working on rehabbing my first soda machine and thought a lovely addition to the family would be a pull knob vending machine.   Can anyone give me an idea of what these machines should go for?  I know they're heavy as hell, but for something aroung through the 70's they seem hard to come by.  Seen a few on craigslist for 50-75 bucks but they always fail to mention condition.  Any help is appreciated............

Think about what you want to put in it. Find a machine that will vend in that size.
Cigarette will only vend up to 4". Make sure it is complete, working and clean.
50 to 75 is about right.

Creighton has it absolutely right.

You'd be better saving your money and buying something like a U Select that works on a tray system or a stoner that has flaps.

More expensive but probably worth it in the long run...

I'm a sucker for a vending machine and probably have about 60 on the walls...
