sprint54fan Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have a old time diner/soda shop that we spoke with about placing a gumball machine..they agreed to letting us place one but they would like a older "antique" looking machine...anyone know where I could find such a machine so I dont have to place the standard Oak or Northwestern..? It may be a little more work..but this place should go well cause its besides a big college and alot of business's so they are packed everyday for lunch..

nam Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sprint54, Here is what I would place if they are wanting the retro look from the 60's. I got this off craigslist for $90 and does 850 gumballs. I've seen others so if you do a search sure you could find one. This baby was full of quarters and doing real well but the business was going out of business. nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Look for people selling antique Victors, NWs and other brands from way back, maybe a Google search or something might help? I know I have seen several of them on ebay but the conditions are all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nam Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sprint54, Here is a antique looking flat vending machine that you might find interesting and make more selling temp. tattoos than gumballs. It came orignally from AAGlobal but no longer have it new but some on the used market. I bought some like this but they are all red not black. Got one powder coated in a hot pink paint - Wow does it get your attention. nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would NEVER buy machines specficly for a location that I would not use at another account. Once (Not if) you loose the account, who will want that old looking machine? Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nam Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Kyle, I understand your point but believe it would depend on what you pay for the machine and how much it can make a month. I paid $50 each for mine and they are all like brand new. Also got 15 boxes (some never opened yet)of stickers and tattoos. It may be a struggle but bet I get my 50 bucks back. I have so little money in them I can place them anywhere and not worry too much about getting big volume. Nothing much in the machine and nothing in the product. But as far as buying the machines new for placing I agree with you. Wouldn't do it. nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Snacks Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would look at the old time original Oak that they still sell and then get an antique looking stand from LYPC or Ford.
