Well, after looking the following beauties over, I've come to the conclusion I need to find some sort of way to improve my photography prowess. It isn't a huge deal for the business exactly, but it's pretty important in regards to running the site here, getting ideas across, and more recently, demonstrating help and "how-to" tutorials. As we stand right now, here are a few gems from the last collection I took:
So, in what amounts to an impulse buy, I bought two old Northwestern "Cone" Vending machines. The vendors I spoke with couldn't recall the "real" name, and I haven't heard back from Northwestern proper yet. All I know is that they are very big, and very old. They were designed to be super-high capacity gumball machines (as seen in the included photo) but it's taken quite a while to get them cleaned up internally, as they had been in storage for a long time.

I recently got a Toy N Joy "Talking Toy" vending machine, better known as a "chicken" machine, and it's now on the mend. I bought it in good condition- the former owner was very good to it and had all the parts and accessories. After some general repair and a change of locks, it's now mechanically functional again as a capsule machine. My long term goal is to update the unit into something "more" than a chicken machine, and into something that's irresistible to everyone
Well, after a lot of logistical legwork, the Giant is back at my shop, ready to be cleaned out, taken apart, and from there "restore" it to the best of my abilities. I've been in contact with several people with amusement restoration backgrounds, so I'll see what can be done. It's a very hardy machine, and overall it's in superb condition. A few rough edges, scuffs, and a few other minor problems are all that separate this machine from perfection. I can't wait to get the cleaning done
