Ok, I will admit, when we had the Victor Kooler Grill all packed up , air tight. I went to get my truck and NO! keys, after looking for about 20 min. Tom, says you sure you didn't wrap them up in the machine, O-----%$#&@ Unwrap and guess where they were, inside the Kooler Grill. But Tom, did get a chance to feel the weight of the Kooler Grill, on his finger. Hope your finger is doing better Tom and a big thanks to Tom for all his help. When I got it home, it took 5 guys to get it off my truck and on to my trailer. I will send a picture of the Kooler Grill in it's new home. Thanks Curtis, Memory Lane Restorations

Absolutely Kool! Kind of like seeing a mountain lion in the wild...most people will live their whole life not seeing one (I haven't yet).

Did this guy have all the plumbing, etc. set up to use it or is it strictly a display item for him?

Curtis or Jeff, can you share any more of the story on this one...

was somebody just hounding you curtis to find him one and you helped the new buyer find Jeff so they could negotiate or what and how much can you tell us?

This was a customer of mine not more than 2 hours from my house, he saw photos of the Grill and wanted it, I called Jeff and put the deal togather and both men are happy campers. Now remember, Jeff and my other customer have never met and only talked one time and that was when I was at Jeff's house picking up the machine. I could have left the country for a great vacation?Huh?? But both of these guys are the best of the best and not to mention, they have to much money and would have hunted me down and put me in river with a new pair of shoes. Alot of trust has been built with both of these guys. Anyone out there dealing with Jeff, he is a man of his word!!!! A true friend. You won't find a nicer, more kind hearted person than Jeff and his wife, two of the best people I know. If you think his soda collection is nice, you should see Jeffs Air Meter collection, WOW!!!  WOW!!! WOW!!!
