Hi from a Leicestershire novice.

Hi all new here and a little out of my depth so please go gentle.
Here's my story of why I'm here.
I've had the job recently of clearing out a vending machine factory. Mainly all retro mechanical machine that vended condoms and tampons. Also amongst it was several cigarette machines too.
Now here is the sad bit. A few weeks ago before starting the clearance I put feelers out on various facebook groups and other internet avenues to see if there was anybody interested in any parts machines etc. and didn't get any responses. Therefore I've scrapped nearly 10 tonnes of mainly condom machines.
I've kept any complete machines and also kept all the cigarette units as I know they can be collectable.
I do have a fascination for many things mechanical and do like to tinker and play with bits in my workshop so I'm here really to see if there is any interest in items I will have for sale in the near future and also any history information.
