This just in from Cranberry Township, PA--Authorities have evidence that two members of the SMC Michigan Mafia were spotted in Cranberry Township, a bedroom community located north of Pittsburgh.  Local SMC collectors were astounded that these two could make their way into the Keystone State and get such a good deal on an embossed Coca Cola Ideal 55. The seller's only comment was, "They made me an offer I couldn't refuse!". We will continue to monitor this story and bring you photos as they become available.

Tim and I just got back from the 10 hour trip to PA and back.  Special thanks go out to Tim for not only finding this machine for me, but especially to go and get it with me.  I really appreciate it Tim!  If I could have just gotten Tim to pay for it, I'd be all set! 

Tim's wife grew up not far from where we were today in PA, and Tim was able to strategically pick the drop off/exchange location within 100 yards from the beer store that sold us Yuengling Beer to take back home!  Bonus!!!  Is that great planning, or what?

The seller bought it 20 years ago and somebody had painted it brown and tan before he got it.  He planned on restoring it someday, but never got around to it (sound familiar?).  Coin mech is a glasco mech and is complete, although jacked up a bit.  No worries...I have a complete Ideal mech for it instead. Soon, this ugly machine will make its way to Pat's house for a complete restoration, and brought back to life.  Here is a pic the seller took of me and Tim loading up in the BK parking lot.  More pics to follow. 

Overall, a great day and life is good!
