    Description

    This auction is for both vendors.
    I purchased these several years ago with the intention of using parts from both machines to create a nice restoration.   Now, I have too many projects. These Stoner Cafe vendors are unusual and not easy to find.  For their time, they were quite advanced, as they dispensed black coffee, coffee with cream, coffee with sugar, coffee with both, and hot chocolate.  All via a series of relays and motors.
    Unit #1 (Stripped down machine in pictures)
    This unit was missing quite a few parts. However, the cabinet is solid.  A few dings, with surface rust in the floor.  No rust through evident, although a few small repairs might be necessary after blasting.  The components removed from the machine are in good shape, are boxed and will be included. I was planning on using most of them for the final restoration.
    Unit #2 (Complete machine in pictures)
    This unit remains fully assembled.  It appears to be at least 90% complete, including the hard to find stainless steel mixing containers.  However, the large cup dispenser container is missing.  Includes key components such as the boiler, coin mechanisms, etc.  Also, the panel selection buttons and main knob are present and in excellent condition.
    Buyer is responsible for arranging and scheduling shipping. I will assist as feasible.  STI is a transport company I have used in the past, and I believe the shipping cost for two machines is similar to one.
    Feel free to contact me with questions, or if you'd like additional photos of specific areas.
