Large candy machine

Eric had two or three of the National vendors, but I am pretty sure Joey has them now (in trade for the Pepsi 88).

Its currently sitting in the car waiting for the Mrs to go to work before I can hide it under a blanket in my garage.

Dave what are you gonna tell the wife when she finds it?

[davethebirdman]

Well Terry that problem has already arisen.

I worked late tonight only to come home to a very frosty house. I did the only thing a man
could do in that situation. I told her that you all egged me on and its not my fault I've just
fallen under the spell of a group of crazy Americans who have brainwashed me across cyberspace.

It was at about that time that the frying pan came flying across the room and she stormed off to bed.
If you think about it logically though, wives are much easier to come by here in England then National Candy
Machines.

Only kidding.... Hoping to get it out to my brother's at the weekend. Roped my dad in too to have a go at
re-spraying it. When she sees it all done up she'll melt.

I just got very excited when I found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1

Only to phone up and find that the decals are too wide for my little machine.

Does anyone know where I can get a set made up?? I've sort of fell in love with them.
I know it won't be historically correct but I tihkn they'd look smart on my new toy.

Dave.. you might send Curtis from Memorylane a pm or email... He'd be the man I think to point you in the right direction. I spoke with him last week on my candy machine...heck of a guy.. I am probably going to meet up with him in 2 weeks while he is delivering a few machines in my area..

Hi Joey

Thanks for the pictures. Looking at what you have I think that I missing the majority of the outer casing
of the coin mech, although I don't think mine id Identical to yours.

My vending mech inside the columns is completely empty. I don't have any of the trays. The trays look like they collapse. Is that how the Candy bar gets from the top to the bottom?? I also don't have anything that would stop the bar dropping out at the bottom. That's masked in your picture by the Trays. In my mech there are pieces of metal with holes in them that must have contained the gate system.

Hope this makes sense. Anyone who has any idea plse feel free to chip in.

Dave
