I know this is a newer machine but I have someone local to me wanting to sell me a machine similar to this. This picture was taken from an ebay auction but it looks the same. The seller wants $100 for the machine. If I were to buy it I would only do so for resale. What do you all think? Is is a good move? The machine was made in Germany and I have been told that it is a limited production machine. (I don't know if that is true or not). The machine looks and works great. It also has a stand that it sits on that was an option. I am torn on if I should do it or not so I thought I should get all of your advice.

It's made by Siemens corp. I belive, they also made the "Break-mate" soda dispensers, I've got a local guy here in Mich. (on ebay too) selling the bigger wall-mounted Cornielus Pepsi units ( funtionally allong the same line as this model), starting at $75.00-100.00/ea. these are kinda "ok"  '> I'd stick to $25-75.00 range for a coin-op version, & see if he'll go for it.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Actually I am going to pass. I just found out that my girlfriend got a job flying for Northwest Airlines and we are moving to Memphis as soon as we can get packed and out. So I expect I will be moving in about a week and a half.

Hey, that would be a neat little cooler for her to have in the cockpit!
Is she going to get you a job there too?

Josh,
I don't know how you do it...
In the short time you've been visiting SMC, you have relocated twice with this being the third time! And the moving is long distance as well; it's not like you're staying in the same area...
I could never think of relocating that many times in such a short time frame!
My hats off to you and your girlfriend; good luck in the new location too!

Thank You all so much. This moving really stinks but at least now we both aren't unemployed. I hope this is the last move for a while. I will have to go to Oklahoma City for about 9 weeks in about a year for training but that really isn't a move. I just hope that I am able to be located in Memphis once I get my position with the FAA.

Memphis is nice, not too far from me. Just stay out of the south west side and you should be ok. Traffic is heck at times around Poplar on the interstate.
Hope you plan on visiting the casinos in Tunica MS and check out some of the great shows they have there.
Downtown is almost all one way especially around St Jude and Le Bonnheur Childrens research Hospital.
Go to Graceland, the Peabody to see the ducks, Beale St and if you are there next year GO TO MEMPHIS IN MAY!!! Go see some pro basketball games/concerts at the Fed Ex Forum.
And for food, please visit Corky's BBQ.
You wont be too far from Ripley MS to hit the first of the month trading days. Very large swap and flea market.
They used to have the big flea market at the Memphis fairgrounds, but the main building burned.
My Dads auto body shop was in memphis in the 70's. Lots of fond memories.

Josh, that is great news!
You know, NWA's corporate headquarters and hub is in Minneapolis, right? That means you can get cheap passes from her to come visit me in the Twin Cities anytime!
I selfishly wish that she would be based here in Minneapolis, so that we could be local soda machine buddies.
Congrats and tell her we are al proud of her. |

She has the choice to go anywhere that northwest is located but since I am only able to be hired in the southern states with the FAA it only makes since to stay in the south. Besides it is a good chance that I will get Memphis once I get hired. That would be alot of fun. I will make sure I get a pass to come see you soon.

Hey
New town & a whole new area to search for machines.
So do you have any fire sale machines you need to unload prior to leave Florida?

No actually the only machine that I had was the USS-64 but I sold it last week. I have a shell of a parted out USS-64 but that is going to the dump today. I havent bought much since I have been here. I left the SV and Jacobs at my parents house. You wouldn't be interested in a Jacobs 26 would you?

So glad that we will meet up some day. I live just 10-15 minutes from the airport!
But best of all, you get to move away from that horrible, nosey landlord. Wait a minute, he's probably sitting at your computer right now eating food from your fridge, reading my message! Yikes!

Check with the landlord first. He may want it! |

I would think TN would be full of machines and Royal Crown was big on the South... who knows you may stumble onto a RC 81! Bet you'll find machines there... Just do what you've been doing networking seemed you where on a roll there finding stuff!
Best of luck! And Tell her Congrats!

Josh,
The closest I've come to looking in Memphis for machines is NW MS.
Memphis will be a great place to place ads.
There is West Memphis Arkansas, lower Missouri and Memphis it's self.
Just please be careful if you answer any ads in the SW section of Memphis.
Check out www.commercialappeal.com you can search the classifieds.

Couple machines listed her and pinball machines. The last ad is of great interest.
Looks like the ads ended today, the link isnt working now.

Thank you everyone for all of your support. This is going to be a hard move. I am going to try to sell/give away all of our furniture before leaving so it will be easier. I am really excited though. I love the state of Tennessee. I love to fish and there are some great lakes there.
