I made a trip up to see Slider Bob yesterday to pick up a couple 110's and drop off some parts. I brought a 55 base for new member Detroit Dave in case he wanted it for his Hires slider and he came over to meet Bob and myself. After helping load me up and showing Dave how to remove his old base and checking out Bobs stash of machines we headed over to a local A&W for lunch.

It was great getting to see Bob again and getting to meet Dave, he has got the soda machine bug bad and it was fun swapping stories of the hunt for machines.

L to R Me, Detroit Dave, Slider Bob

Having met Ken and hung out with Bob several times, I can vouch for their non evilness.

This site needs to come with a warning about the addiction that comes with the hobby of collecting machines so members don't blamed for newbies getting hooked.  biggrin  tounge  laugh

It was a great day seeing Ken and Kim again, and meeting Detroit Dave.  Great people!  Lots of good story telling!

I've been noticing it's been pretty dry lately in Michigan in the hunt for machines....Now I know why...it's Detroit Dave...He's buying up everything!
