Worst case..... nicks and scratches can be fixed!
I was going to say the Kooler Grill will probably hurt the office drunk more than he would hurt the grill...
Unless of course he got behind the wheel of something! oh

I moved my 81A from the back porch into the new gameroom, so far it has gotten more use from my 1 1/2 year old than anybody else. He loves to crank the handle and open the bottle door...good fun!

I would have to find one for pennies on the dollar - I will not spend $25,000 or more on anything except a car or house.
If I got one for that price, you bet I would use it. I would probably use it like the guy that posted on here a while back. Rent it out (with me at the helm), take it to festivals, use it to make money!

Well I have a 57 Chevy rag top and drive it to work, to the drive inns with the kids, and everywhere in between.

Also have a Pepsi 81 that is on the back porch.

 So I say if you got use it and if you don't use like then sell it

I would have to say....USE IT! I got posed a similar question about the "usability" of a coin op pocorn machine,a Popperette, with zero use on it. Brand spanking new, NOS, never been used. Would I use it or not? I thought about it long and hard and came to the decision that I probably would.

Like Glen said, you only live once so live for today!!  biggrin

Use it!

I agree about seeing cars at car shows that have probably been only driven about 100 feet all year.  On the trailer, off the trailer.  On the trailer, off the trailer....  Oo

I agree with an earlier post... USE IT... I'd take it to car shows, collector shows, etc... rent it out to other people who would appreciate using it...  I use my 59 Vette almost daily, I use my Machines on the backporch and in the basement bar room... but of course I'd have a little placard near or on it telling the story... people would respect it... just like they respect classic cars or antiques when out strolling at a show, etc.

Now just gotta find one!

  Use the equipment as is was meant to be uused, and enjoy it. If someone over-steps the boundaries with innapropriate actions, let them know.
  I once told two of my ex-wifes employees that if they though it was so funny tilting my pinballs then I would gladly take them outside and really show them what it's like to be tilted.
They were perfect gentleman the rest of the evening.
  Notice I said EX-wife.
