Candy Kevin Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I found a weird machine at a garage sale i got for 3 dollars. the first one was in ok shape has a key and everything the other has a cracked globe but I bought it anyways for parts just in case. I'm guessing its some biz op machine. (I found a label that says made in Taiwan.) Im going to post a pic of the one I cleaned up and taped a crack. Is it possible to get a new globe for it? Also what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 More than likely a Candy King machine. I got 3 Peppermint patty machines that were built nearly identical to the machine you have. They ended up failing (of course) almost immediately. I wouldn't recommend using them for anything other than a gift or your own personal use. Here are some other Candy King machines I found. https://www.usedvending.com/i/-20-Candy-King-of-America-Vending-Machines-in-Pennsylvania-for-Sale-/PA-A-480Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Candy King Brand, looks like a "Diamond" unit, part of a now failed biz-op I'm afraid, so no parts. Mechs can (usually) be swapped out with NW gear with a bit of work. Wheel inside should fit a NW wheel too. Cool find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I used to have one. I bought it with a stand for $15, used it for about three years and then sold it off (and kept the stand). It was surprisingly reliable. I sold capsules in it and you can't remove the top half to pour them out, so it's difficult to exchange for new toys, so I just always kept it as toy mix. Also, the coins you have to remove one at a time, so it takes longer to service. Overall for $3, you can use it for awhile and then let someone else deal with it. Good luck!
