chris in md Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 First off, Happy Mothers Day to any moms out there, and make sure you call your mom today! This has been a great week! Monday, I had zero machines. Saturday night, I now have four machines, from two different local sellers. Tuesday I picked up two sticker machines and a NW Super 60 double w/ stand, all in nice shape (story here -- http://www.vendiscuss.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=4960&forum_id=1) Saturday morning I picked up a NW Triple Play. I had to clean out some old skittles and skittle shells that were all over the place, but it's in great shape. Nice quality machine, and the price was right -- 25 bucks, and I found $1.50 in quarters in the coin bucket. It's making money already... This has the gray and black finish, which has kind of an "industrial" look to it. I can totally picture this in an auto shop type of setting. I'll post some more pics later, but for now, here are the pics from the seller's ad --

nam Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Chris, Great job taking it apart and putting it back together. It looks like a brand new machine and you have got it for a small fraction of what it cost new. Fantastic deal here buddy! nam
G-man422 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Chris, way to go on the great finds! I love those triple plays, they look really shnazzy. Keep up the great work. PS: Thanks for the pictures.
lurtsman Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Excellent work Chris If you are coming through Iowa I'll pay you three times what you bought it for. Seeing the springs come off the candy hopper is great--I hadn't thought about that. I won't have to worry about how to clean the springs (which are thoroughly rusted) in the machines I'm refurbishing, I can just buy new ones and attach with a screw. Thank YOU!!! The pictures were excellent. This gets my POTD vote.
nam Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Chris, I just gave you a POTD for your work on this post too. You did a great job showing the machine all broken apart for everyone to see and no doubt will benefit someone wanting to use these machines. Really good pics! nam
