Hello
One of my employee's came into my office today telling me his wife was offered an old Pepsi slider type soda machine along with some old candy machines for free. Just come pick them up.
He told me it looked just like my RC Cola slider. So it helps to share our fun with friends & employee's.
I hope to get it in the next few days. Yes I will post pictures when it arrives.
Kevin

Specially the candy machines. I'm really hooked on the wallmountable ones
at the moment.
I'm bidding on this at the moment. Is anyone old enough to remember these on site??

Nope! But a cool item. Great, now I will be hooked on a whole new coin op machine.
But Dave, wouldn't you rather it said "serviette"?  '>

Kito - you are indeed quite right. You ask for a napkin here and you'd get some funny looks. Serviettes thanks to our French brothers are much more common.
Just a quick story to show the differences in our "shared language."
A few years ago I had to break up a fight between a young girl and an American on holiday, in a nightclub. The American had said to the girl that she had a "good looking fanny." In this country that is a rather crude word for another part of the female anatomy and quite rightly didn't go down to well with our young lady.
I've hi-jacked this post, sorry...
Dave

Yep Dave, when I studied over in England, I had an American female friend who got into some trouble talking about her fanny too. Yikes!
Anyway, so that we don't hijack this thread any further, I have started a new thread for us all to discuss the cool napkin dispensers and anything else we wish to ramble on about.  '>
Here it is:
Cool old coin-op diner napkin dispensers

Fanny Who?
Ok lets get back on track.
The pick up did not happen last night but is suppose to happen tonight. There is a new twist. Now it is three items. Candy machine, pepsi slider & an old coke machine.
So now I am really spun up wondering what the old coke machine might be.
Check back on Wednesday!
Now someone help me with the English meaning to fanny! Send me PM

I'm green with envy. All my leads seem to be people that have that unique machine worth $3000 (like the VMC on ebay that had a plywood coin door). Good luck Kevin.

Hellp
Here is the update
Nothing yet! Employee making phone calls to get the machines from his wifes contact. You never know about these things. They sometimes take awhile to come together or it could have been a false alarm.
The last report was still positive.
