Here are some of my latest finds. The crane game is a Sidebottom Super. It's a very cool machine. My daughter loves playing it. I'm going to restore it and keep it. I joked with my daughter and told her I was going to restore it and sell it. She gave me that look down, then I told her I was just kidding. biggrin The other machine is a Vendo ice cream bar machine, and the other is a Coke WD5. So many cool things to do, so where do I start?

Very cool Rod! Crane game looks awesome and the WD-5 is one of my favorite machines. It will be an easy restore too - not much to it! Does this mean you are going to reproduce the lid gasket for the WD-5??  biggrin
I've always like the Ice Cream machine, but I'd be 400 pounds if I had that around here.  laugh

there was an ice cream machine at auction today near me just like Rod's...but it was missing the inside vending rack or drum and he couldn't (wouldn't) tell me if it got cold or not...I can follow up on it, if anyone is interested.

Those ice cream machines are usually missing the honeycomb guts.  Why, I don't know, maybe metallic bees took them all away.

That figures.  Just like most milk machines are missing the vending racks and weights.
