RJT Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Sorry to say they are worth nothing to anyone serious about vending. They also have no value as far as placing them in any account because they are not wort placing because an account that only justifies something that small either can be done with an honor box or nothing at all because of such small revenues.

CajunCandy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Welcome to the forum treys2k. To be honest those little manual table top snack machines has little to no value at all. Scrap value only and in this economy is not very much! We all recommend large USA made snack machines and no China made combo machines. Such a small unit will not make enough money to be worth spending any money on. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try an antique and collectible forum for some better answers. List it on Ebay and see what it brings. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orsd Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 If they are the Chinese ones, well let's just say that scrap is at a recent historic low, some yards aren't even paying for ferrous scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 That photo is of a pretty old machine. I don't recall seeing one even in the 80's. What model is it? I wonder if it's a Stoner candy machine? This one is probably worth quite a bit to some collector but your other one won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegroup Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Looks like an old National from the mid 70's with some kind of laminate front. Totally mechanical, except for the light. It appears to have been heavily modified. I wouldn't think it had any value at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris1953 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Looks to be an old National vendors pull knob paddle wheel. Good vendor in their day. Never saw one that product was visible except for the product that was ready to vend. The glass was covered with a POS. Can't tell if it is a pull knob or buttons you push. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay. My guess is very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Avoid both. If you're looking to "collect" things, try stamps or something more manageable- and with a considerably higher return. The highest I can see the big machine going for is $200, and that'd need to be to a really interested buyer. The "snacks" tabletop unit is worth about as much as a small boat anchor, as that's about all it's good for I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This is not a good forum for collectors. I saw a few 72 inch National mechanical candy machines in the 1980s as I recall the coin entry was much higher compared to the pull knobs. So I am with AZ and guessing Stoner.

treys2k Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 And what is the value if its a stoner?? Is that rare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 And what is the value if its a stoner?? Is that rare? To quote Walta: This is not a good forum for collectors. The TVF is more for professional, operational vendors. Barring some really big/old operators here, I can't think of anyone here who would have any experience with them. As no one deals with them on the day-to-day, there's really no way for us to give you a good ballpark on what it's worth. If I were you I'd ask an antiques forum, or anyone in the antiques/restoration business. They'd be able to give you a more accurate ballpark figure than what we can provide I'm afraid. Good luck!
