HISTORY: Below are a series of photos & videos of machines from our previous partnership company & also from Unique Vending Concepts. We had also done many alterations & repairs to machines from other companies. Some include the following: Wowie Zowie, Merlins Magic Touch, Gumball Coaster, Kinetic Kid, Oscars Wild Ride & others.
First Prototype - Kinetic Gumball Vending Machine
Very first machine from 1993. This machine was placed at a small festival in a town with a population of about 700 & sold approximately $200 in gumballs ( 800 vends ) in 1 day. After that test run, I realized this concept had potential.
Original Classic - Kinetic Gumball Vending Machine
This is the 2nd model machine from 1995. Photo taken in Battlefield Mall, Springfield, MO.
This machine is actually the 3rd design from around 1996. The second model looked about the same, but with a show panel more similar to the first. These machines were in operation in Missouri & Kansas during the mid 1990's
Classic - Kinetic Gumball Machine
This is the 4th model gumball machine from around 1996. These were sold and also operated by us in Missouri. The top sales for this machine was in the Battlefield Mall in Springfield, MO. During 1 month in December, one of these machines sold approximately $2,000.00 in gumballs (8,000 vends) in one month.
This is the 5th model gumball machine from 1997. This machine was manufactured in the numbers and was supplied to a large vending company that has these in operation in several states throughout the Midwest during the late 1990's
Illusion - Kinetic Gumball Vending Machine
This is the 6th model gumball machine from 1998, The ILLusion. These were manufactured in Missouri, but we also worked on a joint project with another company who wanted to have these manufactured in Thailand. Photo shows Kit & Golf in factory located in Bangkok, Thailand.

This is the 7th model gumball machine from 1999. Labeled either ILLusion or Fun Gum.
