I would like to know if you can identify this gumball or peanut machine. It does not have a globe, but has a label of Columbus Vendor. It needs some TLC, but I am wondering if it is worth putting any money into or if someone would be interested for parts. I haven't seen it anywhere. I can send more pictures if needed.
Answer Hello Tammie
You have part of a Columbus model JMJ. It is missing the front coin door and product chute. It requires a globe that is unique to this machine. At this point I don't know of any source for parts for this machine but can do some looking . If you e-mail me personally at jomax9@hotmail.com I will let you know what I have found out.
