         Yesterday I checked the newspaper ads as always. Garage sale this weekend
someone posted "old coke machine". Well squaretops are old so I'm assuming they
think they have a goldmine. Even so, it's our duty to check it out.
         Forgot all about it until today, but I thought I should at least go look at it and
leave them my phone # in case it doesn't sell.
         It was almost 9:00 AM when I arrived, people everywhere of course. I spotted
the machine and froze! Well it must be sold and waiting for someone to come back to
pick it up?
         As I was inspecting it, the lady says "150.00.....needs a lot of work". I suppose
a $100.00 offer would have bought it, but I offered $140.00. Her husband grabbed my
cash and said SOLD!
          My project for today was to complete the machine I got from Terry but this
thing just followed me home!  Picture of both below.
          Keep checking your classified ads folks, as you never know when or where these
things will show up.

Awesome find, Glen!!  Congrats!  That's a right nice pair you got there!  You are right, you never know what is out there to be found, and never assume anything!  Now, where were those yard sales I read about today...   biggrin

        It is complete except for the bottle door handle. It cools, no dents or rust.
Just the typical holes for a water fountain, but this  censored securtiy system?  darn
