I picked up this large beast of a vending machine a couple weeks ago when I got three other Oak machines from a junk shop. When I got the other three the owner insisted I take this big monster too. At the time I wasnt very excited about this thing, but it came on a large heavy cast iron stand with wheels (need to do alot of work on it-will post seperately one of these days) and I figured that with the stand included I could put it to use.
