Okay apparently I opened pandora's box talking about this machine. Everyone and all there cousins are breathing on me now.  laugh . The machine is out of my reach now, and I have no contact with the guy that bought it but I can tell you he said something about putting it on ebay. I also can tell you he paid $1,200 for the machine so I would expect to pay more than that for it when or if he list it.

And Heavy... I know I found it, delivered it and sold it to Larry.. But Very cool.. hard to believe it's all original, outside of the little sign inserts, which look awesome. incredible that the original sign was not only with it , but in such great shape.

I'm not sure if I ever posted the AS FOUND photos...

Larry did I send these to you? if not let me know and I'll send you the Hi Res photos...  it was in a vending business that was shutting down, I was there to buy another machine and found this one while there.

No I don't have them.  Please send them to me.

I remember meeting you in the Wisconsin Dells picking this beast up.  That beast was almost left in the parking lot.  I'm surprised that John and I could move it and not damage it.  It's over 500 pounds.  Ask Cokemachinesandmore, he was the lucky volunteer who helped me get it in the basement.  Plus we had the compressor out, the belts out, and a real strong guy who muscled it in.  I wanted to remove the front door, but it wasn't budging and I didn't want to dent it getting it off.

A member on this site, redid the black instructional decal for me from an image that I got off the internet and also created some excellent font from matching the original Fudgesicle font.  Then I had Roger,from Crow River, print the instructional decal for me, and a buddy from work used the font and added some images and we pinted them on photo paper.  It turned out perfect.  

Although it looks clean in the original pictures, there was a film of grime on it that wouldn't wash off.  I was able to use straight Simple Green and a cheap pressure washer.  The grime came off easily with the pressure washer without destroying the paint.  Afterwards I used some rubbing compund and wax, and now you can see youself in the paint.  It's a beautiful machine with minor flaws.  One of my favorites.  My wife really hates this thing and tries to get me to sell it all the time.  I told her she can use it as a casket and bury me in it.    biggrin
