So I get a call last week  from an old friend of mine about a machine he had for me. Never knowing what he had I really did not get my hopes up too much . The oldtimer friend of mine used to repair/restore Jukes and really did not have many soda machines. I have purchased soda machines and a few jukes from him over the 20 years I have known him. The soda machines he would take in trade from time to time and he would call me. So over the years we have built a good friendship.

 I guess he has been doing this since the early 70s and I know he had quite a few jukes in his storage area, now that he is in his 80s he pretty much does not do this work or have anything left.

 So I go over today and we visit for sometime before he takes me out back to show me the machine he has set aside for me since he knows I like off brand machines. Well my eyes just about popped out of their sockets. I look it over and it is all complete with eveything. I asked him about the history and from what he could remenber, was that he got this early on in the 70s and packed it away and pretty much forgot about. Until now after cleaing  out his storage. So I loaded it up in he van and we talked for awhile longer and I thanked him for the machine and off I went.
