Free stuff - "Hot Nuts" machine

[slinkr.livejournal.com]

ETA: Taken, but I do appreciate the scruples and research skills of the DSLJ community.

Before I met my wife, she picked up a "Hot Nuts" machine at a yard sale for $1. For the last decade, it has faithfully adorned our porch at various residences. We don't know if it actually works or not, but it is convenient for holding takeout menus or something like that. However, now we're moving again and we have a baby, so it's time for Hot Nuts to find a new home. Free to the first interested person who can pick it up in East Somerville by Saturday.

I've been looking for a place to keep my hot nuts

And that's why I posted this here instead of on Freecycle.

Does it come with a key to open up the top and the coin-holding area?

[slinkr.livejournal.com]

There's no key. The top and the glass part can both be lifted off.

Do you have to put a nickel in to get a serving of hot nuts?

You know, that could actually be worth more than $1 now.

if a hipster doesn't pick this thing up instantly i will be really disappointed.

That exact machine is listed for $94. on ebay.

I think this one would need a bunch of fixing up before it had any collectible appeal, it's pretty beat up.

If no one has claimed the machine I can pick it up late tonight or at a baby friendly time Thursday evening.

Thanks,

Shouldn't this be part of the Poly speed-dating post?
