When I was younger my parents took me with them to a car dealership while they bought a new car. I got bored and started exploring and found a bunch of these machines at the back of the show room. There were gumballs, mini eggs, minstrels, and a skittle one. Turned out if you shook the skittle machine the skittles would just fall out. Needless to say I ate half of the entire glass bowl they were stored in.

Excellent restoration! You love what you do and it shows! This reminds me of something that happened when I was a child. Back in the day, all gumball machines were glass and there’d be a row of like five made together in a row at the exit of the supermarket. Well, my sister was a cashier at the “Atlantic” supermarket in North Reading Mass back then. My mother and I were shopping and as she checked out she handed me five pennies to go get some gumballs. The machine jammed open so I did what any seven year old would have and shook the machine. I started rocking it and every time it went forward another ball would drop out. I thought I had hit paydirt and was filling my pockets until a manager walked over and said “hey” which startled me causing the entire bank of machines to fall over. Three of them smashed and there were gumballs everywhere rolling into half of the checkout isles. My mother turned beet red with embarrassment as she grabbed my hand and dragged me out to the car with me still bending and grabbing all I could on the way out lol. Yep, the good ole days! I still get a chuckle when reminding sissy about that day because she was the one checking Ma out! No, she never lived it down either. To this day when she finds old friends on fb they remind her of that day her little brother broke the gumball machines😉✌🏼

It's a shame there was so much corrosion on some of the parts. The only way I know of dealing with that is to copper plate the part, sand as if its a filler, replate and polish, then nickle plate....all very laborious. I like the little adjustable vane that allows you to select the amount of product the machine will drop. Excellent resto!
@AcmeRestorations
@AcmeRestorations 4 года назад
Also, copper plating is not something I can do in my shop. I could have replaced the parts with new plastic parts, but since you never see them, I just cleaned them up. Seeing that adjustable vane was an "A HA" moment. Now I get why some machines when I was a kid were stingy and others weren't. Thanks for watching.

Nice job of restoration on that Oak machine - the only issue that I see is the internal wheel is an adjustable wheel, and not really made for gumballs. I could be wrong of course, I had a route of machines like this for 20 years right out of high school, mostly Northwestern Model 60's, never really worked with Oak machines. They make a bottom wheel that has a round hole to vend gumballs with. Good decision on replacing the springs in the brush housing, they were my weekly nemesis for the whole 20 years. I never had the resources to completely rework the machines like you did though, as I started out with 88 machines, all placed in local businesses.
@AcmeRestorations
@AcmeRestorations 4 года назад
Yeah the big gumballs only work if you turn the crank r-e-a-l s-l-o-w-l-y. :). And then once in while... no gumball. Thanks for the tip on the gumball wheel; I am going to look for one on ebay and maybe swap it out.
@LexingtonPigPenny
@LexingtonPigPenny 2 года назад
Great overall restoration. Just a few problems... The Brush Wheel Housing is installed backwards. (The piece you replaced the springs on.) To prevent the product from falling through, the solid part has to be covering the chute hole. The 1" gumballs you put in the machine will not work with that wheel. That wheel and brush housing are for small candy type product. The chute is also the original small chute and often a 1" gumball will get caught in there, pinched between the chute cover and the chute and not fall through. I have seen hundreds of these type machine corroded like this. It’s usually from people putting salted peanuts in the machines. The salt and moisture from the air causes the problems in the long run. But, like I said, great overall restoration, with a beautiful result.
@AcmeRestorations
@AcmeRestorations 2 года назад
Thanks for the info. I went with the big gumballs because they look good in the video, but most likely will use this for Hot Tamales, so I didn't swap out the wheel. I'm fairly certain that the was used at a petting zoo. I think the gunk I cleaned out was old goat/farm feed. Pretty gross. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
