Too bad I don't live close to Chicago, have $600 and want them. I don't have room!

Not a super great deal...
the slider, missing coin mech, and possibly rack? 200
Westinghouse machine, big and bulky, no value $200?
Square top RC Machine... $150-200
Chest cooler? needs retoration $200

I'd say average asking prices?

Why are you guys always so negative?

the slider, missing coin mech, and possibly rack?   Neat looking and usable
Westinghouse machine, big and bulky, no value     Cool machine and great looking
Square top RC Machine...                                 Neat little machine for home use.
Chest cooler? needs retoration                          And when restored would ne so cool.


Am I the ONLY one who doesn't look at these as to what I can get out of them when I decide to sell them. Here's an idea....fill them full of soda and USE them.

If I had $600.00 I'd buy all 4, refinish them and USE them. And I DO have a gas pump, (2 actually) but I want to keep them as well.

I think what Signguy is saying is the cost to bring it to a nice looking machine does not make it a super deal. Say the slider for example... missing the rack and coin mech assembly. Sliders can be had for not much more than that complete. I passed a really nice Nesbitts complete working slider for $300. The RC square top machine is very hard to find parts for. I think he is being generous at $150-$200.

The machines no doubt would look nice restored, but the amount of $ VS. resale is hardly worth the investment. Even if you are planning on fixing the machines for keep, eventually you would probably look to sell.

Well, I just get a little tired of seeing machines that I think are neat and would like to have being labelled as "worthless" or "junk" , etc.
