Hi all. Curtis from Memory Lane (super-helpful and all around nice guy) recommended this great site. What I have is Universal Vendors Inc. Philadelphia 3, PA - Model M8 - candy machine. What I'm in search of is any info. on this machine and most importantly if anyone knows where I might be able to purchase some knobs for it. The knobs that are on the machine are plastic and not bakelite.
Thanks for your time,
Michael

Michael:
It looks like a mid 1960s candy machine. Because I doubt it is at all unique, I probuble would not put the time and money in doing a full blown restoration. If the machine has some other value such as sentimantal, then go to town on it. Stoner candy machines from the 40s and 50s have a much better appearence. I would look into replacing the knobs altogether.
Good luck. Of you have some pictures of the inside I may be able to give you some ideas as well.

Here's where a neat look'n 60s retro character decal or graphics could do wonders though.
Let's see the whole machine...
I agree Stoners are nice... alot of shape and style... Don't need much... but this could look
cool with the right era decals and color...
