Soda machines - operate or decorate?

[Pat Pixley]

You spend that money and time to restore these machine's  And to let
 them sit. NO   you have to use at least one of them .
 AT holloween time  we will set up in our garage and the  the glow of light from a
 soda machine would draw the kids and there Parent's (some of them would come because
 of a long neck) and some have never seen some of these machines , so it is a treat,
and some have and what to talk about the one they had memory's of .
SO FIRE IT UP.

the Royal 650 with a timer to shut it off between 730 pm & 630  AM.

Is this really a good idea ?
