Question
what size gumball does this machine take thanks mike

Answer
Hi Mike, it's impossible to know what it was originally made for, or changed to, could be nuts, candy, gumballs small or large. You just have to buy a few different sizes and see what fits. If I told you a size and you bought a huge bag and they didn't fit, or it gave you two because they were to small, you would hate me! Because you would be chewing the wrong size gum forever. Could you hit the gumball machines down at the store and get a couple different sizes to see what fits best?
Sorry

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

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!
