Hello Chaps

some of you will remember that I was lucky enough to get my hands on a seven pull National, in the summer last year.

It was minus a few bits for the coin mech but Tim has come up trumps on that score.

Well, I have now managed to get hold of two further machines. One is a seven pull and the other a nine pull. They arrive a short while ago.
They are both in poor condition, having sat in a barn for years.

However, the only bits they seem to be missing are the product card holders. The metal strip that holds the different packets and provides instructions on how to work the machine.

Does anyone have these parts for sale. I need a seven pull one and a nine pull one. I suppose I could make something up but would rather the real thing.

Also the product cards that slip into the metal frames - are they old cigarette packets or decals?? Does anyone sell these??

As always all help advice gratefully appreciated...

Dave,

I might be able to get my hands on some of the product cards from a guy that I know in the cigarette vending business.  Can't help on the racks.

PS--I sent you an e-mail with something that may help.

Okay guys another question about the Nationals.

All three of my machines have knobs that appear to have some sort of a plastic coating over them. Not the chrome type I see on everyone ese's machines.

Is there chrome lurking beneath.. Does the plasitc strip away or are there different types of knobs... ?

Dave,

That is a good question.  My 7 pull has chrome knobs but I have seen others that appear to have a plastic coating on the knobs that is bronze in color.

Hi Tim didn't see your post...

All three of my machines have those Bronzy coloured pulls. They look like a plastic coating but I don't want to pull it off and find nothing underneath that can be salvaged.

Dave,

You might want to PM Curtis at memorylane.  I suspect that he would know the answer to your question.  I would be interested to know the answer to that one as well.

They are plastic all the way through, no chrome inside:) I sent a set to the chrome platers years ago and they came back melted.
