I had a vending business and with purchasing it I got numerous old vending machines. I was busy trying to run the business and tucked away in my stockpile were some very old machines. I have a couple of 1950 Stoner machines. They are in need of refurbishing and mirrors. I'm in the Seattle area and I would like to know if you would know anyone around here that would be interested in them or any of my other old equipment. Also, what would be the value? I have a few other machines that are dated to be later 1950 - early 1960 too. I have an old coin mechanism tester, also. I'd be glad to furnish you with more detail and pictures if need be.
Thanks.
Answer Hi Rose,
Very interesting, I would like to see some photo's my e-mail address is jackpot7@ix.netcom.com and I do have broad band INTERNET now. I live in Shoreline, maybe if a week or two if you want, I could come by with some of my vending books and try to help you get an idea of what they are worth, would you be interested in some help?
Thank You

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!
