O/T Does anyone Collect or Restore Vending Machines

This is more of a garage or shop thing but does anyone restore or collect or just have any old vending machines.

 

I bought one at an auction a couple years ago for two bucks. I think it was worth $10 in scrap, damned heavy SOB.

 

I work for Coca Cola Equipment Services.... we got hundreds of the bastards!

 

I have a 57 Wurlitzer model 2104 that my kids love to play and listen to the 45s.I also have a cavalier coke machine that holds the small bottles and a vendomatic candy machine.My dad picked the stuff up over the years and I just kept them.

 

We only have condom vending machines, never go rusty, they are well lubricated...........

 

I collect a lot of coin op stuff...and I make my half ass living buying and selling vintage coin-op.

 

Here are a few pics of some of my vending machines.

I collect Coke machines and picnic coolers. I do my own restorations. I'll try to post some pics.

 

Just a few gum and capsule machines here.

 

Cool I have been looking for one, but havent found one yet, for the right price.

 

Check "craigslist"......you can find them pretty cheap for art deco machines......warning they are heavy........also, check vintage cigarette machines.
