Sweet!

Thats a nice find, interested in selling it, I have a customer looking for that model. I just finished one thats going out West. Calf.

Nice find, John!!  That's only the second one of those I've seen, not including the one Curtis showed us (nice work!).  I think I'd leave it alone as well!  Good start to the year!

That is a very nice original. Congrats

That's a keeper John!... Glad it worked out... I vote leave it as is... not many out there left original or restored back to
factory finish....

Thanks guys for all the kind words.. I never thought I'd own one as well, but it all worked out..
to answer the question what did I have to trade for it... The guy I bought it from was a gas pump collector, so was expecting him to ask for my wayne 60 or something, but he wanted 3 common pumps, so I traded a tokheim 300, Bennett 966 and MS 80 cyclops... I figured all of those models I can find again with just a few phone calls, but this baby.. Probably won't see to many of these, especially in this condition!...

John,

Great score on the Stoner Jr.  Your machine could be the twin of mine.  Mine was repainted by the previous owner but they did a decent job of matching the original color.  Here is a picture of the machine from the day I picked it up.  I can't find one of the machine put together!

John,
I am soooooo jealous!!!!  My dream machine also.  Like another poster stated, I also have settled for a 180 with mint wheel for now.  Nice to know the good original stoner juniors with mint wheel are still out there.  A little shot of enthusiasm is needed every now and then..  Bob in OR

I originaly settled for the 180 with Mint wheel, then I was lucky enough to run accross my JR with Gum wheel last year. the one I picked up was re-painted over the original, so I decided to have it restored. I let my daughter pick the color. I should have known she'd pick pink  here is a pick before it was painted, and one as it stands now, sorry it's the only pic I have for now. I still have to touch up some paint, and restore the vending mech, but all and all I'm happy with how it's coming out. The one next to it is my Theater with gum wheel. Another great find of 2009. I'm going to start putting that one back together as soon as it gets a little warmer out. I'll update my tread on the Theater once I have more pics. Hopefully 2010 is just as nice
