Just a quick update from the bench...
Two Oak Acorn Gumball Machines Freshly Restored & Rethemed:
Harley-Davidson & Coca-Cola
It is July 1st, 2026 and for my family that is about half of the summer gone. Come August my wife will be back to work teaching and a few weeks into August we will be moving my son back to his college campus. We've kept the roads and skies busy this summer with various trips and vacations, but I've still managed to get two gumball machine restorations in as well. Here are my two latest off of the bench - Harley-Davidson and a Coke themed Acorn gumball machines. Both of these machines have penny coin mechanisms, original 8 lb glass globes, and have been completely restored inside and out! I take EVERY pieces apart down to the tiniest spring and dog inside the coin mech to be sandblasted and polished. Then everything is properly lubricated at reassembly for years and years of service! There are no stickers on these machines. All artwork are waterslide decals that I make and apply, kind of like how we used to out on model airplanes and cars back in the day! The Harley machine is a tad older the the Coke machine, but both of these are decades old and will last decades more! Below are a few closeup photos and a few videos of the machines in action! Note: Both of these machines are SOLD.
