Quarter Arcades: Quarter Scale Gumball Machine

I was skeptical about how much a tiny gumball machine could add to my setup, but the chrome base and glass dome look surprisingly sharp next to my arcade units. Even got a few laughs from friends when I actually dropped a coin in and watched the little gumball roll out—just don't follow the warning

The little chrome knob turns smoothly and the glass dome feels sturdy enough to survive a few knocks. I’ve already caught myself reaching for a quarter every time I walk past it, which says a lot about the detail.

It’s tiny but the weight of it feels surprisingly solid, and the little glass dome really sells the whole arcade vibe. I caught myself trying to turn the knob before remembering it’s just for looks—still, it ties the setup together perfectly.
