Don't know if he does his own work or not. But if you just look around at what he has it must be worth thousands. He has a Vendo Coin Changer sitting on the wall that most of us would have as pride of place but there if you blink you miss it. Lots of lovely clocks too.

I e-mailed him and asked him permission to show the photos and said to drop by. I'll e-mail him again and ask him about the restoration work. All that stuff looks top class. His pillow radio he sold me is MINT.

The best part of the group for me is hearing how you guys come by your stuff or how you start out in the business. Glen's story the other day. That sort of thing.

I guess 30 yrs ago a lot of the stuff was just being thrown away or was being sold for pennies.

I think I would go crazy living in that house. TOO MUCH. Everythings a blur and melts together, you get tired looking at it. Just my opinion. Some nice pieces however.

Oh come on Petey - your just trying to squeeze a little more understanding out of her so you can buy a few more things.

Did you all take note of the fan above. That is cool! Up and down, Coca-cola stuff is everywhere.

I would think I died and went to Coke Heaven. Did anyone notice that none of his clocks matched up?

Hello Everyone.

Spoke to the owner of these goodies again yesterday. He informed me that he did all his own restoration except the electrical parts.

The Robot. It was from Coca Cola. Apparently there were orginally three. One went to an employee another was broken up and the third became his after years of badgering.

Hopefully he'll stop by and fill us in a bit more.
