Ideal Texaco

[wee]

Love the TEXACO letters....Are those metal....?

[tkaz]

Awesome displays of all your stuff, must be nice to turn the TV on and get to stare right at a couple machines!

Very nice indeed. Where is the 7UP 81 to go with the rest of the line up ?

[Funtronics]

Very nicely done. Looks very inviting.

Ed,

I agree.  The Yellow RC Cola doesn't seem to go with anything else in the room.  I showed the pics to my interior decorator and she said dump it (I probable can find a room with some pastels that it would be more appropriate in my house).  Because I am in Buffalo and you are close by in Canada, I will send a truck across the border and grab it this week if that is ok.
I already cleared it with US Customs.

lol.....

Thanks all for the nice words....
I usually change the machines next to the TV every few months so that I feel like I got a new machine lol. (although I havnt done that in a while now)
It's funny... with my Ideal 55, I declared 200 at the border and was questioned, drilled, and had to show my texts and email etc..... and they couldn't prove anything..... YET when I brought my RC 81 over the border, I claimed 1500, and they didn't even take a second look!!!

The letters are not metal or porcelain (I wish) but rather plastic.  They made them for Texaco in 2 sizes when it came to plastic.... 21" (what I have) and 13".  I'm just missing the stars that go with it, but they always pop up on Ebay.

Trust me when I say this........ IF you guys ever see my machines on CL, Ebay, or my local Kijiji, that means that I have died, and my wife is selling. Unitl then, tell all your interior decorators that yellow clashes with everything!!  

Again, thanks guys for the nice words.... it's all still just a work in progress lol

Ed  (I think this is my 1000 th post !!  wow, I spend too  much time on the computer lol)

         You were selling a 110 parts machine a while ago, is this...................... "one foot in the grave"? 

[BONOVOX]

I was just letting an extra 110/81 door go, as I bought the machine for parts myself.
I guess that was  me having a blocked artery.   

I have sold machines over the years.... typically when I go to pick up a machine for myself, I look to see what is around that area, simply to flip it even for a couple of hundred just to pay for the gas etc....

I'd be distracted.. hard to pay attention to whats on screen with such great Eye Candy surrounding it..
