I got into collecting coin operated machines long before insulators...it all started with an old gumball machine I found in the attic, which lead to numerous flea market trips, garage sales, online buying, etc. About eight years later, I've put together a collection of a little over 200 coin operated machines. They range from gumball machines, slot machine, jukeboxes, pinball machine, penny scale, parking meters, trade stimulators, stamp machines, and a variety of other "unusual" machines. Here's just a small sample of my collection...
