DuGrenier Model R

[Jim]

A big Thank You goes out to Neil Forman for assisting in both getting and storing this machine for me ! ! !

The DuGrenier Model R is a small 5 selection cigarette vendor.  Unfortunately, at some point, the cabinet base has been shortened and can be verified by the absence of the top centered lock on the panel door.  The machine has been converted to vend on quarters and functions well; even has all five sold out weights and the coin/cash box!

Also pictured is the larger Model S.

I helped a friend move a DuGrenier cig machine several years ago and it was possibly the heaviest machine I have ever moved.  Not sure what made it so heavy. There was no key to open it and look inside.

        It may have been used it as a safe at one time so it was full of bars of gold.

We shall see what's inside because the owner wants me to restore it.  I'm not looking forward to moving it again!
