Candy machine question

[davin72]

Anyone have any info on this little thing. By the wood grain I'd say it's probably from the early to mid 80's.

Never saw one of these before. Hope someone on here has as I am interested in learning about it as well.

Well we shall know more soon enough. I just called the guy and I'm going to go pick it up probably tomorrow or Thursday. He said it still works but has a little bit of water damage at the bottom.

Does look like the wood in bulging a little on the bottom left side.

Has keys, vends, overall looks very cool. Congrats!

I'm an arcade collector so I'm kinda use to fixing things like that so it shouldn't be to bad to fix. Plus the arcades I collect are the cabarets and they all had the wood grain and didn't have any side art to them so this will fit right in there.

Understood. Here is a Wooden Merit I purchased last year

I usually am not a fan of wood grain and post 1970's stuff...
But... THAT MACHINE IS COOL!!!

I like it, with the right paint job that machine could really pop...plus it's very practical vending the snack size candies.

Would leave it as is . It would look awesome next to a pacman cocktail table

 This thing also has a similar shape to some of the cabarets / minis i collect like Galaga and Ms. Pacman along with the woodgrain sides. Should fit in just fine.
