Well thanks Creighton.  It's kind of funny that my name in the Who's Online went from blue to red and the PIPs went in the opposite direction - Coke to Pepsi!

Hello,

Now it's my turn to spread some praise...

When I originally set the parameters for the various groups, text colors, etc., etc., I really never gave it much thought as to how many people would be contributing to the Discussion Areas...

With that said, I would like to Thank everyone for all the input, help and guidance which has made SMC become an enjoyable community!

Guys and Gals you know how they say on the radio talk shows long time listener first time caller!  Well that is what I am.  I just wanted to say I love this site and read it every night when I get home for new posts. I wanted to throw in my two cents (Jim I have not worked up to 6 yet) that this was a great idea and I really enjoy this site.

I have learned a lot from reading your post's and I really enjoy working on these old machines (mostly square top for me) and this site has been very helpful.

I currently have an ideal slider in the game room, a 56 in the game room, a mills machine in the shop all three are pepsi I also have a selectvend 48L in the shop 7 up brand and a quick kold chest double cola in the shop.

I am amazed at the knowledge you guys have on these machines and I just wanted to let Jim and the rest of you know how much I appreciate this site...

[Creighton]

Hello g.b. harp and welcome! Glad you have enjoyed the site. Sounds like a great collection!! Pictures??

BTW, Terry and Brent get the congrats. Jim gets the standing ovation!!

Creighton, I would love to give you pictures but alas I am not very computer literate. If you can explain how to post a picture I would glad to put them up here..

[dr galaga]

Click on the "add reply" button below - don't use the quick relpy.
At the bottom is has a "File Attachments" section.  Click browse to find the file on your computer.  If it gives you a warning that the file is too big you will need to make it smaller in a graphics program.
-Or- you can send me the pics and I'll post them for you.  dr.galaga@comcast.net

[aspbear]

Thank dr galaga.  I will give it a try and if I have trouble I will email them to you...Thanks.  Been wanting to show these off for awhile.

OK here is my collection. The slider I restored, the 56 is orginal, double cola and selectvend recently purchased and will be winter projects. The grandson is my third and my most prized item who will inherit one of these machines.

[dr galaga]

One more note: If you click preview you will need to browse and add your picture again before you click add reply!

Obviously I did something wrong.  I have e mailed them to you dr galaga.  Sorry at my age computer's are tuff.  Give me a big chief tablet and a number two pencil  and I will amaze you....

[dr galaga]

Hey, that's what us youngins' are for!  I applaud you for trying.  My grandmother will have nothing to do with computers, which is probably better.  So we always joke around at family get-togehers and tell her we'll e-mail here about it.  '>

I still haven't received the pics yet, so I'll probably have to post them tomorrow when I get home from work.

[aspbear]

Ok, I did not get the email back so I think it went through.  Thanks for the help....

[dr galaga]

I'm going to start a new post with the pictures, since there's a number of them.
