Question

Candy Vendor
I have a number of old manual Nationals. This model is a Crown, and works perfectly, but I'm not sure of the age.  I'm interesting in selling it and would like an idea of its value.
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Mary,

There is not much information on these and I don't believe there very collectible, I would guess 100 to 150, but maybe they could get better if it's like new. There is a few web sited dealing in vending, you will find more sites if you do a Internet search for stoner candy vendor.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
