After watching these on ebay and looking around for a good deal on one of these I stumbled across this one at a place I went to buy some gas related signs.  This one is pretty good shape minus the dust.  The second vending machine was an impulse purchase but its kinda cool

How funny.  We just had one sell at the auction a couple weeks ago.  It didn't have a key though.

Too funny.  I wish I'd been able to get the one we sold, but it didn't have the key and it had a little bit of rust on it.  I figured one would come along again in better condition that I could get if inclined to do so.  Congrats on finding one and double-congrats on the Mrs. liking it too!!

thanks Ken, did anyone see the lot that sold on ebay.  here is the link, i counted there are 22 of them but the description only says "10 of them"  wonder if someone paid almost a thousand dollars and then realized they werent getting everything in the picture

The buyer left positive feedback, so I guess he was happy.

question for the experts.  I am better at finding this stuff than working on it.  I think the key may be rusted in the lock and it wont turn.  Should I spray some WD 40 around the key and let it leak down into the lock?  Can this damage anything?  Also was this a penny or nickel machine, I wnat to try it out but dont want to jam the wrong size coin in there.  Thanks for any help you can provide

You bet he was happy with them... Look at the buyers feedback he sold just one for $560.00... Even with ten he'll make a killing.
