    Description

    Somewhat working-will pick up coffee beans, rotate over to hopper, and dump shovel load into hopper. Hopper dump is not working however. Timer and weight tallying dial also need attention. Coin mechanism has been removed for free play-so you are going to lose out on 10 cents every time someone plays-Sorry. Small piece of glass broken at top left of front glass as shown in last photo. Happy to answer any questions. Local pickup only in beautiful Lubbock, TX. State of Texas Occupation Tax paid through December 31, 1972-so no need to worry about that.
    There has been some interest expressed in this item being crated and shipped.  This would then essentially be a local pickup by your carrier. Due to the fragile nature of this item, I would be surprised if it arrived with the glass NOT broken, despite all efforts to prevent this. Such damage would also require replacement of the decals on the front glass for a true restoration. Please note the front glass is already broken at the top left as shown in the photo. There are probably better options rather than plain glass if you were to have the glass replaced, such as acrylic or tempered glass. I would estimate a weight of 250 lbs for a crated item, 42" wide, 42" long and 54" tall with the legs removed.  Hope this information helps you in your decision making regarding the possibility of having the item transported by your carrier.
