I like it but probably wouldnt own one unless it was on my back door step. I can see the NAVL driver trying to move that pig.

I was thinking exactly the same thing...

They must be pretty rare...

I'm sure Josh would have it... He's a Jacobs Fan.

The seller emailed me first. It is close to my grandarents house and I almost bought it but they are firm on getting $850 out of it. I told her to put it on ebay and see where it goes. At 580LBS my hip would break again trying to move it.

Man! I bet you could cool 2-3 cases of soda at the bottom or a side of beef.
Coffin!Ha... that's what it would become if I drug it home....
though I wouldn't mind owning one of the smaller models....

I have heard that one of these was gutted and made into a sit down phone booth? SOmeone told me they had one at a Restaurant in Northern MN somewhere like a Grandmas's or one of those places with cool decor.  Would be a pretty tight fit to sit in ? maybe not...
I have the Jacobs 26... and they are great machines...
