I didn't see a compressor unless it was shoved all the way in the back which is entirely possible given the depth of this machine. I wasn't really inspecting the bottom since I only had a few minutes to look at it and take pics. I knew when i saw it that I wasn't going to buy it. That being said, the guy claimed that he plugged it in so must have been something recently....unless he took it out himself...some documentation I took...

I just looked at the stuff...my fear is that if I bought the gas chamber chai, my wife would hook me up in to that for buying old coke machines.

Speaking of erie things such as gas chambers. Today after I delivered the V44 I went by to check out an old safe from the early 1900's that I was wanting to buy. The old feller told me that it came from the local hospital where it was used in the morque. I told him thanks but No thanks. He does have a few more safes in another building that we are going to check out next week.  '>

I knew a bloke who once had a complete set of Victorian Gallows in his back garden.
His wife wasn't too pleased either.
I aslo had the oppotunity of once buying the "slab" from the morgue of a hospital that had closed down years ago and was being used as a car park. The whole building apart from the mortuary had been demolished. I expect the builders didn't fancy knocking that part down. It was very old and as you walked through the door it had been preserved just like it was used last week.
I passed on it. Although thinking back it would have made a lovely dinning table.

Getting back to that chair. Sean.....did you sit in it? If someone bought it and took it home and cleaned it up, still would anyone sit in it? How could you not think about the people who sat in this chair before you!!!! Creepy

Terry, If I had known you were looking for a safe, I'd have said somethng to
the bank I used to worked at, they sold the building and left the safe for the
new owner. Any way He turned the building into a drive thru hamburger joint
and threw the old safe out under the tree out by the parking lot.
Last I saw it it was upside down with the door open, about a year ago.
Weighed lord knows what but was about 100 years old,
Had the brass crank to open it, and gave me fits on fridays, setting the
beautiful detailed brass and mother of pearl timer, for Monday. Use a nice skeleton type key
to set the tumblers.

Glen,
As I was walking out of this guy's store, the chair caught the corner of my eye and I did one of those double-takes..and no, I did not sit in it...If the leather mask was still attached, I probably would not have even walked into the store..it would have reminded me too much of the Pawn Shop scene in Pulp Fiction where the guy brings out The Gimp in the backroom...LOL, and that is where the machine was located in this store..way in the back, no one else in the store...wow, I feel pretty lucky to have made it out alive and not being violated now! Sorry for the poor humor...
