Maybe Markito's wife found the machines that he was hiding in the (small) garage!  '>

I emailed Mark on his birthday to check out the b-day thread and never heard back as well.

I think his wife locked him in the phone booth. '>

Hi guys!  Yeah, Wayne was right, I've been "out and about" for Uncle Sam.  Sea duty has really put a crimp in my restorations, etc.  and I'll be going out again in the near future.  The light is shining at the end of the tunnel and I'll be retiring in about another year.  Strangely enough, I got back in port in time to go to bike week in Daytona and struck a conversation with Henry Schwichtenburg, one of Harley Davidson's master mechanics.  He also has an interest in coke machines and has a Cornelius compact 50 in need of a rack and coin unit.  He lives about 25 minutes from my father-in-law, so I took some leave (to visit dear old dad) and check out Henry's machine.  Nothing special about it but I'm trying to find him the rack and coin unit to get him functional again.

Amazing how these things develop isn't it?

Anyway, I'm still around and looking very forward to retirement and moving to a house with a fully functional WORK SHOP to get my machines restored (and collect more)!!  :'>

Glad to hear from you Eric!
Hope things are good with dad!
Hopefully, you won't have to go back out too soon...
