Wow! You went the extra mile and painted the “THANK YOU” too... Great Job!
Like I said the one I bought is in route.... (Hope it's all there as it is a eBay sale)
Will get pictures as soon as it gets here.
You can get feet, rubber and or cork gaskets for the globe (so the pressure isn't on the glass)...if you don't already have them from crowriver.com and the little lady from gumballkingsdecals.com will have your decal you need!
Great job!

Thanks Eric. I am not sure if the Thank You was origionally painted but I thought it would look good.

Hey Spider...
Watch them on eBay....Oak (sometimes called Acorn), Regal, Topper/Victor, Northwestern machines are all 1940s/50s machines and don't get too crazy...
Once you find the model you like watch for them under “penny machine”, candy machine,
gum machine... as most people don't know what to call these and you may find a
better deal looking under these listings on eBay.

Good Luck (Another vending machine to ad to the collection.... but be warned... these can be just as addicting once you get one!)

globe gasket, rods & lid...

Main rod through the middle he had to grind down a little to get the lock to fit right It does have a older lock with a “Victor” key.... the center rod is held in by a hole drilled through and a little metal pin pushed through could you take a image of how yours is held in.... I think this is a replacement
rod... I think I'll be calling Crow River tomorrow....

And finally... how it looks with the new decal and how it compares in size with a Oak and a Ford.....
