Mehehe Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Curiosity abounds on this one. I cant find any numbers anywhere on any of the parts. One of the glass globes was replaced with a NW Glass globe the other is generic. If anyone has information I would love to hear it. -The Lid, Hopper, Chute Door and Base are all plastic. Chute door has two washers on the back to make weight. -The Body is metal. -Coin Mech, Chute and Chute Cover are all really good copies or have been replaced.

Vendin it Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Look's like Ashland, I bought a small route of the Ashland's, the hopper from a Northwestern with wouldn't vend with Ashland mech. Their ok, I tossed them out mainly because plastic globes we're faded bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 At a glance, I'd agree on Ahsland though I didn't think they made anything with metal or glass in them at all. I've only ever seen the plastic ones out in the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumball guy Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Over the years I have acquired some of these machines when buying routes. They were actually pretty dependable but were rough and the plastic globes always (as mentioned above) looked terrible so I eventually replaced them. Those glass globes appear to be Northwestern.

Vendin it Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 We went to our first NbVA convention in I think 1998 in Orlando & Gabriel vending brought a semi truck loaded with Ashland machine's to sell at show, they built the machines. Their semi trailer had a pictures of Ashland machine's painted or wrapped on trailer it looked good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vendin it Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Didn't take any photos, back before smart phone's. Gabriel was from New Jersey & had machines all over the country. When Oak & Northwestern's patent expired different companies copied their machine's ( Gabriel, A&A, Eagle) exactly to the size & design saving them big $ on engineering & design.
